Remarks:
Clipper is a very attractive yacht, that is much admired (and we can see why!). Her owner states that she is well balanced, with an efficient and easily handled rig, and can comfortably be sailed short handed. At some time in the past her cabin has been shortened to provide a longer cockpit, which makes for very comfortable day sailing with company. However, her two berth cabin, with lifting roof, still provides ample space for two adults to overnight on board. Clipper has been professionally maintained to a high standard by a very reputable Broads yard, and would appear to be in very good condition throughout. Currently lying afloat. Photos ashore taken by Topsail (April 2010). Photos afloat provided by owner.
