Remarks:
This lovely old lady has been painstakingly restored to her original layout, and she consequently oozes with traditional charm and character! In the same ownership since June 1989, this River Cruiser Class yacht has been sailed regularly every year and laid up ashore each winter. She has been well maintained and is understood to sail well.
