Remarks:
The Bure Classic is a delightful river cruiser class yacht with accommodation for two (and occasionally four) and excellent sailing characteristics in all winds. Colin Buttifant, expert craftsman and builder of the class states “Their fast and lively performance can be appreciated by both novice and experienced yachtsmen alike”. As a beautifully styled Broads auxiliary yacht, and with all the charm of the traditional Broads yachts that came before her, she understandably gains admiring looks and comments where ever she goes on the Norfolk Broads. Constructed in GRP and mahogany, and equipped with a small diesel inboard and mast winch, she combines grace with modern design and convenience in an undeniably exquisite package! “Shalla” has been maintained throughout her life by Swallowtail Boatyard, and the vendor informs us that she is in first-class condition and ready to sail away.
