Remarks:
This Leo Robinson River Cruiser Class yacht was the subject of a very long and sympathetic restoration from 1991 to 1999 and she retains all of the beauty, character and charm that is expected in a traditional Broads yacht. She was originally part of a Broads hire fleet (and is included in the 1936 Blakes catalogue), but very unusually for a Broads yacht, she was also at one time available for hire further afield on the River Avon as part of the “Bathursts of Tewkesbury” fleet (Bathursts having been purchased by Leo Robinson in about 1926). She was purchased by the current owner in 2014 and is now very sadly for sale due to a change of circumstances. With space to comfortably accommodate all the family, and having the benefit of a reliable diesel inboard engine, this beautiful yacht is surely one to view!
