Overview

About this vessel

'Aeolus' is a fine example of the swift sailing Twister 28.

Her engine was upgraded in 1998 to a Yanmar 2GM20 providing reliability and economy. Her hull topsides are finished in an attractive dark green paint. Below decks is clean and tidy with berths for 4. Taylors paraffin oven with two burner hob. Separate heads with Jabsco toilet. Navigation aids include Silva DSC VHF, colour Garmin 557 chart plotter, NASA depth sounder and NASA AIS. An added bonus is the Sea Feather self steering gear. Proctor spars with stainless steel standing rigging. Good suit of Crusader sails including main, genoa and cruising chute.
