Remarks:
Built by Fred Press prior to 1931 and possibly as early as around the time of WWI, this pretty River Cruiser Class Broads yacht has been gradually rebuilt under the current ownership (17 years) with works including new hog, garboards, keelbolts, timbers, floors, cabin sides, cabin roof and mast. With notable racing wins including both the Three Rivers Race (ynr “CLASS” races) and the Yare Navigation Race, plus numerous other regatta trophies, this competitive little Broads yacht is very much considered to be part of the family by the current owners!
