Remarks:
This pretty Broads yacht, built by Herbert Woods in 1946 as one of a class of 15, is in regular use for cruising and racing – even winning River Cruiser class races under her handicap of -26!
Summary from 2007 survey: “Marigold is a fine example of this classic Norfolk Broads Yacht. She has been well designed and well constructed. She has very few defects for a vessel of her age and she has proven to be consistently durable. She was found to be in a good structural condition and with on-going maintenance will give good service for many years to come.”
