Remarks:
This yacht is a modified Macwester 28, very similar to the Atlanta 28, with a reduced draft fin keel, modified rudder and fractional rig, all designed specifically for Broads sailing. Offering lots of space and scope for family cruising, this well equipped yacht is very sensibly priced for a quick sale as the current owner wishes to downsize. Boasting good headroom throughout, a spacious saloon, well appointed galley and heads compartment, both with hot water, and a diesel inboard engine, she provides everything required of a comfortable Norfolk Broads home afloat!
