With winter 2010/11 barn storage and an exterior repaint/revarnish (as required) all included in the asking price, she represents a great opportunity for someone who is looking for a river cruiser ready to sail in 2011. It is understood that her current mooring on the Northern Broads may also be available to the new owner.
