Remarks:

This is an almost unique opportunity to own what must, without doubt, be one of the most beautifully maintained River Cruiser Class yachts in existence! This boat was commissioned by the current and only owner, and has been maintained by the original builder (who could not be more highly regarded amongst both his peers and clients alike) since new on an almost ‘open cheque book’ basis. Every year she has been wintered ashore, and every spring she has been recommissioned following the completion of whatever works the builder has recommended. She is consequently presented in excellent condition throughout. This much loved vessel has been predominantly day sailed throughout her life, and she is now very sadly for sale due to the purchase of a smaller vessel. If you’re looking for such a boat, please don’t miss this opportunity, as boats like this don’t come on the market very often. Currently lying ashore.
