Description

The TWISTER has earnt all the superlatives over the years - beautiful lines, proven capabilities and a classic in every sense of the word. Yachting Monthly Magazine described the Twister as having 'already won it's spurs' in their review article some years ago and commented that even for racing, she can be managed by a small crew and show her heals. The designer, Kim Holman, the other half of the famous duo of Holman and Pye, was obviously influenced by the highly successful Nordic Folkboat and their have been many incarnations since, however the Twister had something very special. 'Lissanna' is such a vessel and, although sadly the current owner was unable to use her for personal reasons, she has undergone a major professional refit which, just finalised for the 2025 season. Work included an engine out mechanical refurbishment, electrical upgrades, full hull repaint (2 pack Oxford Blue) and other improvements details of which are available. Surveyed June 2023 on purchase.
