Remarks:

This very beautiful Breydon Cutter was built in around 1896 by Garwood of Great Yarmouth and is one of the few Victorian river cruiser class yachts still afloat of the Norfolk Broads some 120 years later! Owned by the current owner since 2008, she is reluctantly for sale due to family and work commitments. A photographic record is available for inspection showing most of the numerous works that have been carried out since 1990. A real piece of Norfolk yachting history!

MOORING: It’s understood that the vessel’s current northern Broads mooring could be transferred to the purchaser subject to agreement from the mooring owner (cost for 2017 season (April to October) approximately £648).
