Electrical health check January 2023 (Roger Upham Marine) All in all she's a fabulous boat and ready for new adventures. The only reason I'm selling her is that I need a larger boat for longer passages, that I can also code for commercial use, and Hermit is happier as a family cruiser / racer. To avoid additional lift-out and relaunch fees for survey purposes, Hermit will be on the hard at Premier Chichester Marina from 23 January to 19 March 2026, and will be available for sea trials thereafter. Please call or email for further information, documentation and to view. Full advert at https://www.apolloduck.com/boat/feeling-346-for-sale/817751
