Remarks:
With her River Cruiser Class handicap of -4, this Easticks yacht is officially the fastest on the Broads! However, her modestly sized rig, recently converted from a high peak gunter rig, is still easily managed for cruising purposes. Purchased by her current owner (only her second, the previous owner having owned her since new) in 2012, she has been wintered ashore annually and boatyard maintained since new.
