Remarks:
The Japonica is a very popular Broads River Cruiser, with lifting cabin roof and ample space for all the family. This example was the subject of a sympathetic restoration in 2005/6, and whilst she does require some re-varnishing externally, she has a lovely, spacious, homely, interior.
It is understood that the boat’s mooring on the northern Broads is available to the purchaser, and that it is currently paid for up to 31st March 2013.
