“Truantina” is a much loved and well travelled Konsort that is fully equipped for cruising and exploring the open seas, coastal offshore islands, accessible inland waterways with its own self charging electrical system. Since 1995 She has made more than 25 Channel crossings over distances between 76 and 120 nautical miles covering North and South Brittany via the Channel Islands, including many of France’s wonderful offshore islands along the way as far south as the river Charente. Truantina is a very comfortable, safe and comprehensively equipped vessel offered for quick sale due to a recent bereavement and personal health problems.

Special Features
- Bit by bit all interior headlining has been removed, the original broken down foam insulation cleaned away then all surfaces were given a layer of either cork tiles or closed cell insulated foam before the washed vinyl was re-laid in its original place with lots of contact adhesive. The result is very well insulated, making the saloon and all accommodation very warm in Winter and cool in the Summer.
- The Propex Warm Air Heater has its own gas supply from the gas locker, with a balanced flue system for the heating air and exhaust, a heat exchanger with warm air outlets opposite the heads compartment and in the saloon. The stainless air and exhaust supplies connect to an outside stainless fitting near the gunwale. This is only used in very cold weather but is a very useful resource and unlike the diesel units does not require any servicing.
- There is a transformer to supply 240v at 600wwhich will run small tools when required. This is not intended for extended use as it requires a lot from the batteries.
- There is a small indicator by the front of the sink that gives the number of litres remaining in the Main Water Tank. There is a means of adjusting the “full” setting. Which resets when the tank is filled.
- Comes complete with a rubber dinghy and a suitable outboard.
- New anode and freshly antifouled July 2026
