Third Wave is a rare opportunity to own a Kestrel, hull number 3 of 5 built in 1993. She has 3 owners since new and has been wintered ashore for 6months for the last 23 years.
I would boast she is probably the tidiest Kestrel available, having just spent over 30k on refurbishment including removal of the teak on ply decks, new headlining throughout and a real teak cockpit.
Third Wave is a magnificent crusier, comfortable to be a live-a-board. She is priced competitively to sell and to account for the rigging being 13 years old. New owners may wish to renew standing rigging if they are thinking of blue water or racing. Racing a 7.5t crusier? She will hit 7kts though.
Very well equipped she is for sale by broker:

After a long period of happy ownership the children have now outgrown sailing. It’s now head over heart and time to let someone else enjoy a wonderful, solid westerly.
