For sale for health reasons at a discount price of 55000 euros for the purpose of a quick sale. Rival 38 A. Sailboat solid and marine. Photo file and equipment on request

Sadly tempus fugit and we have decided after 21 years with our much-loved Rival 41A to change to something smaller.

Sans Serif has had only 2 owners. We have been unable to carry out all the maintenance we'd planned over the last year or so for health and family issues. So we decided to do those before putting her up for sale. So she is now in a good condition for a new owner - and if we don't sell her then we shall enjoy her for another season or two.

Lying River Dart, Devon on mooring.

Bought in 1984 and completed by present owner in 1985, when it was first launched. Not the standard interior layout but an improved layout. Well maintained throughout. New main sail (2012), new jib (2013) (both hardly used) and working jib. Engine is a British Leyland (BMC) motor with PRM gearbox. Seago inflatable dinghy. Boat moored at Emsworth Marina.

Unfortunately, with the death of my co-owner, Roger Chisholm, last year, I am selling our Rival 36, ‘Liberty'. She’s up near Oban and should anyone be interested in buying her they should contact Mark Cameron at the email address on the right. She is an absolutely fantastic boat and gave us over ten years of great sailing.
