Remarks:
Previously based on the east coast (Southwold) prior to being purchased by the current owner in 2003, this beautiful classic half decker has been professionally maintained under the current ownership and is consequently understood to be in very good condition throughout. With her attractive looks and traditional design and rig, she fits perfectly into the Norfolk Broads landscape, and the owner tells us that she has provided him and his family with many hours of fun during his 17 years of ownership. Complete with road trailer, she is ready to sail. A real head turner with her lovely clinker hull and red sails!
