Remarks:
This lovely traditional Broads yacht simply oozes with character and period features! She offers spacious accommodation for two in her light and very well appointed cabin, plus a further two berths in her superb forepeak (children’s cave!) which has to be one of the best on the Broads! She comes with a very comprehensive cover which provides not only a cruising/cockpit awning but also ensures that she remains fully protected from the weather when moored up with the addition of clever zip-on deck covers. Clearly a much loved and well looked after vessel, she has benefited from many upgrades and improvements over the years including a new inboard diesel engine in 2006. A fabulous river cruiser class yacht for a couple or family!
A part exchange for a GRP sailing cruiser with cabin heating would be considered.
