Remarks:

A very characterful and much admired little auxiliary Bermudan sloop. Very well maintained by what is arguably one of the very best boatyards on the Norfolk Broads, and owned by the current family for some 25 years, she is now sadly offered for sale as the owners are retiring from sailing. A really lovely little sailing cruiser! Sensible offers will be considered.

MOORING: Wintered ashore northern Broads. It’s understood that a mooring on the southern Broads may potentially be available to the purchaser.
