The MacWester Rowan 22 bilge keeler is widely regarded as an excellent first boat . They are very solidly built and incredibly seaworthy. Aurora is a fabulous example of this sought after pocket cruiser. She boasts all of the following features.

Long keel with bilge plates .So ideal for drying mooring!

3 under sink cupboards 

Loads of underseat storage in the fore peak and main cabin .

Re rigged just before we bought her and fitted with refurbished  Jekell sails .

We bought her locally in 2019 and have added the following,

Replacing the hatch roof and Washboards with Stokbord (a recycled plastic that will never rot ) we fitted a 150W solar panel that keeps her batteries fully charged . 

Fitted LED bulbs 

Pull out drawers in main cupboard 

GPS

The engine has been regularly serviced and starts first time . We believe she was fitted new in 2012 and has done around 200 hours. 

All her cushions are clean and dry stored at home over the winter.

There is no evidence of osmosis on the hull and she will be antifould for her new owners. She is currently on the hard at Beaumaris,North Wales.
