Owner's Comments
"Scythe" is in excellent condition. She has had regular maintenance and upgrading. She is of high quality and a very strong yacht.

Over the years "Scythe" has taken part in many Classic Regattas in the UK, Ireland and France as a yawl or sloop. She is a blue water cruiser that is easily managed and has been lovingly cared for by us.
