Remarks:
In the same ownership for some 37 (yes, thirty seven!) years, this much loved river cruiser class Broads yacht is now sadly looking for a new, younger family to take over her custodianship. Her current owners have cruised every navigable inch of the Broads numerous times, taking full advantage of her shallow draft and commodious cabin space. With character and charm aplenty, this lovely old lady will undoubtedly bring huge amounts of pleasure to her new owners.
