Remarks:
This charming traditional Broads cruiser was extensively renovated by one of the most highly regarded yards in the Norfolk Broads in 1994 and has continued to be maintained and winterised by them since. She was last in commission in 2013 and it’s understood that she was then fully watertight both below and above the waterline. Her owner states “We have had so much fun on her and she attracts a lot of attention wherever we go. A little gem, really and we are sorry to be parting with her.”. Her large windows give the interior a real feeling of light and space, even on a winter day! Sadly for sale due to lack of use, this lovely motor cruiser is now looking for a new owner to restore and love her.
