This very attractive Bawley Yacht was built to a high standard by a renowned builder. She is of a very traditional design with clinker hull, long keel and transom stern, and with her long bowsprit (retractable to minimise mooring costs!) and cutter rig, she is essentially part Bawley, part yacht. Ideally suited to creek crawling and cruising the East Coast, she will undoubtedly turn heads where ever she sails!

Note: This vessel is British Part 1 registered.
