This boat has been owned by the current owners for 24 years. Stepping down into her saloon, she has a feeling of warmth, and practicality. She has the capacity to berth 8 people so is a perfect boat if you have a large family or a lot of guests. Maybe a surf trip to Indonesia, or an adventure with friends to remote islands in Thailand? She has been well serviced and well maintained, and will most certainly take you on many adventures, as she has already done in the past!. She is sound, seaworthy and comfortable, and 100% ready to go.

​

Senta is a fast, easily handled sailing boat. Perfect for two people, but also good for single handing. She has proved herself in both light and heavy weather at sea over the past twenty two years, as well on the yacht racing scene in the five years prior to going cruising. 

Wherever you go, Senta will look after you. 

Henry Vink, the boat builder who built Senta for himself before building many others like her, was a tall man, so all of the berths are 7ft long. Plenty of space to stretch your toes! And lots of head-room down below.
