Remarks:
This yacht is one of the best presented River Cruisers that Topsail has ever had the pleasure to offer for sale. She was built by Martham Boatbuilding & Development for the Turner’s Boatyard hire fleet in Horning and subsequently became part of Colin Facey’s hire fleet. She was sold into private ownership in 1990 and was purchased by the current owners in 2002. She has been maintained to an extremely high standard, with no expense spared. For sale due to the purchase of another boat, she is currently lying afloat and ready to give much pleasure to her new owner. Photos taken by Topsail (July 2009).
