Remarks:
Combining the grace and beauty of a traditional Broads yacht with the practicality of a GRP hull and a diesel engine, the Easticks 28 is a deservedly popular cruiser/racer. This example, which is somewhat unusual in having a Bermudan rig, has a successful racing record to her credit, but is easily managed by two when cruising. With four berths and a huge cockpit, she is extremely spacious and ideal for family cruising. She was purchased by the current owners in 2006 and has been professionally maintained throughout their ownership with little regard to cost. She is now looking for a new custodian due to the purchase of a motor cruiser.
