Remarks:

Built by Ernest Collins in 1934, Pandora II was one of four Pandora class yachts built for hire. After many years of service, she was put out to grass before being found in the 1990s in a sorry state in a dyke in Stalham by the grandsons of her original builder. The two brothers set about restoring her but unfortunately after a time they fell out, with one wanting to restore-to-sail and the other to restore-to-sell. As a consequence, Pandora II never did get her internal doors or locker fronts cleaned up and reinstated, and subsequent owners having opted to leave them in their 1990s condition – ready for restoration!

Purchased by the current owners in June 2006, this well maintained traditional Broads yacht is normally kept out of the weather in a wet boat shed at the owner’s home, and it is with much sadness that, after many miles of happy family cruising and modest racing achievements, she is now offered for sale due to ill health.

A quick sale is desired and offers are therefore invited.

PLEASE NOTE: The vessel’s berth cushions, drawers, cockpit locker fronts, stove, etc. were in storage at the time of photographing, but they are all present and included in the sale.
