Remarks:
As seen (albeit only very briefly!) on ITV’s ‘Kingdom’, this extremely pretty traditional estuary motor cruiser oozes with character and charm! Sadly for sale due to the relocation of the current owner of some 11 years, she has a lovely original interior with accommodation for two, and a good sized cockpit. Equally suited to inland (Broads, Thames, etc.) or, with the addition of the necessary navigation and safety equipment, estuary cruising.
June 2014 condition report – Hull/keel condition:
“Sound/no signs of damage past or present.”
