Overview
About this vessel
Launched in December 1979, this 1979 Cookson 420A (aft cabin) is powered by twin Ford 180hp turbo diesel engines with approximately 4,600 hours.
The hull was built by Cookson Boats in 25mm hand-laid fiberglass and was reportedly built for Barry Crump under the original name "Arrogance 11". The superstructure features Kauri timbers, built by Norris & Croft Boat Builders, with internal joinery in Burmese teak fitted out by Marine Cabinet Makers Ltd.
The current owners have lived aboard for 27 years; health issues are why they are selling.
