Remarks:
This Truman Fantasy yacht offers extremely comfortable accommodation for a single person or couple, with what must be one of the largest double berths on the Broads! She has been well looked after and her owner states that she is remarkably quick under sail, particularly upwind, and regularly beats other ‘faster’ river cruiser class yachts. With her fibreglass sheathed hull, she is also a more easily maintained boat, and she would therefore make a great first boat for someone who’s looking to both cruise the Broads comfortably and participate in RCC events/races.
