Remarks:
This handsome cruising yacht, designed and built by Curtis and Pape in Looe, Cornwall, as a unique one-off, offers cavernous accommodation with standing headroom throughout. Although currently afloat on the Norfolk Broads, she was built as a sea-going yacht and her shallow draft makes her ideal for use on the east coast. Whilst she would undoubtedly benefit from some TLC and new equipment, she is very realistically priced and offers great scope for the money, particularly for someone who has the time and skills required to improve her themselves.
* Please note: If the vessel is to be actively used on the Norfolk Broads, then a holding tank would need to be fitted to comply with regulations due to the size of her engine (greater than 10hp).
