Remarks:
At just 20 foot in overall length, this little Willow Wren class Broads yacht offers great accommodation for her size, with galley, toilet and standing headroom when the cabin roof is raised! She is understood to be structurally sound throughout, but she does require a hull re-paint prior to relaunching following some recent re-planking work (hull currently undercoated).
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2018: ANY OFFER INVITED! Very sadly, this yacht is due to be scrapped (due to mounting storage fees) in early October if a new custodian isn’t found almost immediately. Understood to require predominantly cosmetic work, she is currently lying ashore (in shed at time of writing) and available for viewing. Please don’t delay if you’re looking for a winter project, as time really is of the essence on this one! Absolutely any offer will be considered.
