The Twister needs little introduction, this classic design by Kim Holman has pretty lines and well mannered performance, though the interior is small by modern standards. Saorsa last changed hands in 2014 but recently due to health reasons she now needs a good cosmetic clean up and systems check through before any passage is undertaken. She is a DIY refurbishment project.
