This attractive traditional Broads yacht was comprehensively restored by her current owner, a retired professional boat builder, and he has since continued to maintain her to a high standard each and every year. She has once again this year had all required maintenance carried out prior to being relaunched in March 2022, and she will as a consequence be sold ready to sail and with no further work or maintenance being anticipated for the duration of the 2022 season! She offers spacious accommodation for two, with the possibility to add further berths in her easily accessed forepeak making her potentially well suited to family cruising too. Regretfully for sale due to her owner having too many other boats and projects demanding his time! A really lovely Broads river cruiser.

Please note: Photos 7-13 show the vessel freshly launched in May 2022. The majority of the other photos are from 2021, but we understand that she is currently presented to much the same standard.

MOORING: It’s understood that a northern Broads mooring may possibly be available to the purchaser, but a further enquiry would need to be made at the time of purchase to confirm this.
