Remarks:
Believed to have been built by Applegate’s circa 1915, this half decker was originally rigged like a Yarmouth OD with standing lugsail, jib on bowsprit and a lifting keel, but was converted to a gunter rig with a fixed keel in the late 1940’s. She was purchased by the current owner in 1996 and is now sadly looking for a new home where she will continue to be loved and looked after. Priced for a quick sale!
MOORING: It’s understood that the Vessel’s southern Broads mooring could be transferred to the purchaser subject to agreement from the mooring owner.
TRAILER: A heavily built, braked road trailer, originally build for an offshore 4 tonner and modified in 1998 to take Broads craft, is available to the purchaser by separate negotiation (asking price £500).
