Remarks:
Built as one of a class of five, and originally for hire on the Norfolk Broads, Sabrina’s are renowned for their good performance. With four berths and a good sized cockpit, this recently restored example offers plenty of space for all the family. Boasting a recent new rig and low hours outboard, her hull and decks have been renovated using modern materials and techniques in an effort to minimise ongoing maintenance. She is offered for sale as the vendor has one yacht too many, and she is lying afloat and ready to sail!
