Remarks:
This very original River Cruiser Class yacht was rescued from an unthinkable fate by the current owner four years ago, at which time she underwent a programme of professional structural works to get her back into commission. She has since been used for day sailing only, and is now looking for a new custodian to love and cherish her! She would benefit from some cosmetic improvements, but she is understood to be in good order throughout structurally, having been professionally inspected and maintained each winter. She has a HUGE amount of character, with lots of fantastic original period features, such as her second companionway, bronze portlighs (beautifully hand carved into the cabin sides, rather than surface mounted), bespoke shelving and lovely sliding handbasin in the heads. She also benefits from a diesel inboard engine and a potentially transferable mooring in what is arguably one of the loveliest positions on the Broads. Come on… what are waiting for? Book your viewing today!
MOORING: This vessel’s northern Broads mooring is currently paid to March 2016 and is understood to be transferable to the purchaser subject to negotiation and agreement from the mooring owner.
