Remarks:
This absolutely delightful little Broads river cruiser class yacht has been lovingly and skilfully maintained for over 25 years by the current owner, and has had only one other private owner since leaving hire in the 1970s. With many period and thoughtfully designed bespoke features, she offers character far beyond that which her diminutive size, being just a mere twenty one and a half feet long, would suggest! Viewing highly recommended.
