Rampart 32 - Description
1958 Rampart 32 with Yanmar 4JH4 54hp inboard diesel engine on shaft drive. ‘Penny Jane’ is a beautiful classic boat, that has been in the same careful ownership for over 20 years. After an initial refit in 2002, the boat has received continuous maintenance and updates, including the Yanmar engine and Aquadrive in 2006. The clean and tidy interior features a lovely duck-egg blue upholstery and butterfly skylight hatch. One of Ramparts smaller designs, Penny Jane still offers a lot of space and the owners have enjoyed many adventures, both on day trips and spending extended time aboard. Available to view by appointment in Emsworth.
