Remarks:
This Broads yacht has been lovingly restored and maintained by her present owners who rescued her when she was in a state of severe disrepair back in 1991. She has been very sympathetically restored and retains all of the beauty, character and charm that is expected in a traditional Broads yacht. “Aerial” was originally part of a Broads hire fleet (and is included in the 1936 Blakes catalogue), but unusually she was also at one time available for hire slightly further afield on the Avon! With space to comfortably accommodate all the family, and having the benefit of a reliable diesel inboard engine, this is surely one to view!
