Remarks:
The Waveney One Design (WOD) was designed in the early 1920s at the request of the Waveney Sailing Club, and the class are still actively sailed and raced at the Waveney & Oulton Broad Yacht Club (WOBYC). The first 26 WODs were constructed in wood by various builders over a number of years. In 1994 the first GRP example was built from a mould taken from a local boat builder’s WOD, Penny Royal, with a further 7 GRP boats having been built since (numbers 30-34 having been built by Justoby Marine Services). This example, W32 Fen Orchid, has always been based at Oulton Broad and is now sadly looking for a new custodian due to the passing of her previous owner of some 10 years. She will be sold 100% ready to sail, and delivery and storage till March/April 2016 can be arranged subject to negotiation.
PLEASE NOTE: The trailer as shown in the photos is not included in the sale. The first six photographs show a sister boat, W34, built by the same builder.
