Iconic Leisure 17 for Sale - £690

[Kevin Gilroy]

This Leisure 17 was sailed single handed from Turkey to the UK in 6 months in 2012, the intrepid skipper was intercepted off Plymouth by the UK Border Agency.

The little yacht finished the voyage by sailing across the Bay of Biscay from Vigo in Spain, at the end of November! Unfortunately the skipper was without papers and was deported forthwith back to Turkey. Full story on link below.

Leisure owners recognised the yacht as an L17 which was duly sold on Ebay by the Plymouth harbourmaster. The yacht was brought to Shoreham By Sea in January 2013 for a refit.

Most unsually this L17 features hydraulic wheel steering. You can sail from inside the cabin, feet up with just a finger on the wheel.
Drop out a pin and the yacht can be returned to tiller steering in conventional fashion.
