Remarks:
This very pretty little lugsail half decker was afloat from April to June this year on the Cam, Cambridgeshire. She is now back in Broadland on her trailer and her asking price has been substantially reduced for a quick sale. She has a popular and easily handled balanced lugsail rig, designed and fitted by Jeckells just seven years ago to facilitate easier single handed sailing. A two year old, braked, galvanised road trailer is also available by negotiation. A delightful little half decker which will surely bring much joy to her new owner!
PRICE REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE!
