Remarks:
With her GRP hull and traditional appearance, the Farrington 25 combines ease of maintenance with the beauty and grace for which Broads river cruisers are renowned. This example was the first Farrington 25 built and she has a shallower draft than those built after her. Her current owner purchased her some 20 years ago, at which time the interior was completely stripped out and refitted to create a very comfortable 2 berth cruising layout. She comes with a road trailer, which offers her owner the convenience and potential cost savings of being able to overwinter and maintain her at home.
