Mbizi formerly known as Schones Wetter has been in our ownership for 2 years. We keep her on the East Coast on the River Orwell on a swinging 3/4 tide mooring. We have enjoyed being members at The Royal Harwich Yacht Club and having full tide access to the R Orwell/Stour.
She is powered by a longshaft 9.9HP outboard located in a well .
We are a family of five (plus mad Labrador) and have enjoyed some great sailing with Mbizi as the accomodation allows extended cruising.
Built 1983 but not launched until 1986 she is the last Evo 25 built - we have found a message and code nbr on the bulkhead from the team that built her.
Would ideally like to have an inboard fitted but costs are too prohibitive. Sprayhood and stack pack will be this season's upgrades. Highlights so far include Mersea Week 08 having sailed down to the Blackwater wind against and a 6/7 blowing.
