Remarks:
Owned by the current owner for some five years (and by the previous owner for over 30 years!), this traditional Broads yacht is now for sale due to the vendor having recently sold his holiday property and mooring. With lots character and space, she is a great yacht for a family wanting to fully embrace traditional Broads cruising and willing to invest a little time and effort on cosmetic improvements. A quick sale is desired and offers are therefore invited!
