Registration

Alacazam has a UK SSR registration and there are no outstanding mortgages or encumbrances.

Owners Comment

We have two reasons for selling our unique sailboat, which has looked after us for some 25 years. One is anno domini - we're both getting on a bit. The other is more compelling; the skipper suffered a serious illness in 2023 and as a result I'm now ‘unseaworthy’. But what do we love about Alacazam?  She sails like a dream. Points high and reaches her hullspeed easily. The sheets for all three sails are within easy reach of the helmsman. She’s light, airy and spacious below. She’s simple to maintain and operate. Everything is easy to get at.
