Remarks:
This is a lovely little river cruiser, with much character and charm. Her owner has recently improved her interior layout and cruising flexibility with the addition of infill berth cushions to create a large double berth, making her more comfortable for both couples and also those with small children and a sense of adventure! An ideal introduction to traditional Broads sailing cruisers, she will be sure to bring much pleasure to her new owners. Sensible offers are invited.
