Bigger than her sister, the Viva 600, the Sasanka Viva 700 is a modern cruising yacht designed for comfortable family sailing. And comfortable she is too! With her modern layout, well appointed accommodation and good headroom, she is ideal for extended stays afloat. Providing 4 berths and a good sized saloon, galley, separate heads compartment and a spacious cockpit, she is a superb choice for family cruising. In great condition throughout, and a mere 15 years old, this yacht was purchased by the vendors in 2016 and is now very sadly for sale due to health reasons. Believed to have had two prior owners, and based in Lake District with the first owner, this yacht’s fractional rig and lifting keel make her an ideal choice for cruising the Norfolk Broads.
