Remarks:
The Freeman 22 remains an ever popular choice for river cruising, both here on the Norfolk Broads and throughout the inland waterways of the UK and Ireland. Following on from the success of the Freeman 22 MkI, the MkII version offers improved headroom and the distinctive step in her side decks, together with the usual beautiful cockpit and cabin interior fit out that Freemans are renowned for. This example benefits from a recent new DIESEL inboard engine – a distinct improvement over the standard petrol offering – with just 97 hours recorded at the time of writing. Purchased by the current owners in 2015, she is now unexpectedly for sale due to health reasons.
MOORING: It’s understood that the vessel’s northern Broads mooring is transferable (approximately £1,000pa paid Jan to Dec).
