Remarks:
With her brand new electric pod motor and new batteries in 2019, this environmentally friendly little river cruiser is one not to miss! Professionally restored and maintained under the current ownership since 2012, she’s understood to be in very good structural condition throughout. Offering two berths and a lifting cabin roof, this traditional Broads Yacht is quite striking with her varnished topsides and slight counter stern – and all in miniature, as she’s just 20ft 5in over deck! Sadly for sale as the owners are retiring from sailing.
PLEASE NOTE: The trailer pictured is not included in the sale. The photos showing the boat afloat and partially rigged were taken very shortly after launching and the boat has since been fully rigged.
