With her three owners totaling some 203 years and the boom seeming to get lower each season, they have decided that it is time to move their beloved Ed Dubois designed 1/4 Ton Starflash Yacht 'FLASHHEART' into new hands.
This Dubois 1/4 Ton Starflash Yacht benefits from a professional full refurbishment of Deck, Keel (Mills design ), Rudder and a new mast.
Sporting two sets of North carbon sails (last set 2019) the inventory on this Dubois 1/4 Ton Yacht also includes three spinnakers, a no 4 jib (never used), full harken deck gear, two carbon spinnaker poles, five lifejackets, a horseshoe and benefits from a single point lift.
'FLASHHEART' has always been dry-sailed, she looks great and handles beautifully.
Complete with a road trailer, outboard, and a spare Mast.
The Outboard engine was serviced in late March 2023.
This Dubois 1/4 Ton Starflash Yacht 'FLASHHEART' is currently laid up and fully wrapped/winterised lying ashore with us at Hamble Point Marina.
