Remarks:
This lovely traditional gaff rigged Broads yacht has been owned by the current owner for over 11 years and is understood to be in very good condition throughout. Clearly a much loved vessel, she is now sadly for sale due to the owner’s impending relocation.
MOORING: It’s understood that the vessel’s northern Broads mooring could be transferred to the purchaser subject to agreement from the mooring owner (paid for 2018 season, current cost approximately £460 March to October).
