Remarks:
With over £20,000 spent on her since 2011, including a new diesel inboard engine and a new sea toilet with holding tank, this River Cruiser Class yacht is now very sadly for sale due to lack of time. Whilst she would benefit from some further external improvement, she is a very attractive Broads yacht with much charm and character.
