Road Trailer
A galvanised four wheel road trailer with lighting board is available by negotiation (asking price OIRO £1,000)
Remarks:
With her GRP hull and traditional appearance, the Farrington 25 combines ease of maintenance with the beauty and grace for which the Norfolk Broads river cruiser class is renowned. This very well presented example was in fact the first Farrington 25 built and has a slightly shallower draft than those built after her. She also benefits from a bespoke interior layout offering very comfortable accommodation for two having been refitted by her previous owner of some 20+ years. Now for sale due to the purchase of a larger river cruiser, she is in full commission and ready to sail!
A road trailer is available by negotiation potentially offering her owner the convenience and cost savings of being able to overwinter and maintain her at home.
