Remarks:
Following an extensive renovation in 2003, and having been professionally maintained with absolutely no expense spared ever since (with over £30,000 spent at one Broads yard since 2008 on maintenance and improvements!), this Dauntless yacht is presented in excellent and beautiful condition throughout. Having previously been based on the south east coast, her owners moved her to the Norfolk Broads in 2008 and she has been in commission here every summer since. A truly stunning little yacht!
