Remarks:
Purchased by the current owners in 2012, this much loved vessel is sadly for sale due to the purchase of a Broads yacht better suited to the older sailor with arthritis (i.e.: with winches, less physical sail handling and an alternative cabin layout). Offering great space and headroom (with full lifting roof raised) for her length, and able to accommodate up to 5 in her large cockpit and cabin, this River Cruiser Class yacht is ideal for family cruising. A road trailer is available by negotiation, facilitating easy and cost effective overwintering at home if desired. This very well maintained Broads yacht is understood to be in good condition throughout.
