COMMENTS



Purchased by her present owner in May 2021 following a professional pre-purchase survey in April 2021. Her current owner purchased in Malmo, Sweden and sailed her back to the UK in June 2021, through the Caledonian Canal to North Wales. In May 2022 her owner sailed her from Conwy to Spain and then Gibraltar. Then sailing on to Sardinia, Tunisia and then back to Sardinia and then to Italy and Greece, often sailing solo. August 2023 - sailed to Cyprus. From there her owner sailed the Atlantic solo to Brazil and then to South Africa before returning recently to the UK.



During her trips ”Stella Polaris” behaved beautifully, stable & extremely seaworthy - an ideal boat for another blue water sailor!
