Remarks:
Based on an Easticks 28 hull, this traditionally styled Colin Facey built river cruiser class Broads yacht has been maintained regardless of cost! She has never been raced, but has a provisional class handicap of 14 and her owner confirms that she is fast! She has been in the same ownership since 2001, and is now sadly for sale due to the owner’s advancing years. A very well presented yacht.
