Summary

Designed by Kim Holman and built by Tyler Boat Co Ltd in 1965, this is a fantastic example of the GRP Twister 28. Brigand Chief is presented in excellent condition having just undergone wintering ashore where old layers of anti-foul were jet blasted off and the hull faired, epoxied and anti-fouled for the 2025 season. She benefit's from a full boat cover, protecting her beautiful varnish work, a genoa new this year, full navigation equipment, a galley and heads.
This much loved design is fast, comfortable and easily handled short handed.
