While the owners thoroughly appreciated Tryst and her seakeeping and running attributes, they have found a new boat, and are seriously offering Tryst for sale. It is that rare opportunity to buy a used 42 Swift Trawler that rivals a new 42 at a third of the price.
Tryst has been waxed (hull and cabin), fully commissioned and ready to go. She must be seen to be appreciated.
