Remarks:
This is a beautifully presented River Cruiser Class Broads yacht. She has had only four owners since leaving a hire fleet in the mid 60s, one of whom owned her for 34 years (yes, 34 years!) and another who was a member of the Guinness family, and her current owners have continued to maintain her to a high standard.
