Comments
The Seeker 31 is a traditionally styled aft cockpit cruising yacht designed by Angus Primrose. Her beautifully finished interior has been reupholstered, sleeps up to six in two cabins, and is often considered a competitively priced alternative to the Contessa 32. This particular example has been in the same ownership for 20+ years, she has been regularly wintered ashore, engine serviced annually and was antifouled in June 2024. Sensible offers on the asking price will be considered. Viewing by arrangement through Howard Ford Marine Sales.
