Remarks:

This lovely Dutch cruising barge is understood to be well presented, with her steel hull in very good structural condition throughout. Well equipped and offering beautifully appointed cabin and cockpit, oozing with character (but easily maintained, being predominantly oiled, rather than varnished), this craft will turn heads where ever she goes. Designed as a coastal cruiser, her great Dutch pedigree, shallow draft and easily lowered mast, make her an ideal family sailing cruiser for inland waters, such as the Norfolk Broads, too. She would also potentially make a comfortable and unusual liveaboard vessel for a single person or couple. With lots of receipts for gear fitted over the last 3 years following a survey in 2017 when the vessel was still in the Netherlands (the current owner sailed her to the UK after purchasing her), this vessel is now regretfully for sale due to the vendor’s retirement from sailing.

A suitable replacement motor vessel has been found and so a quick sale is desired!

BERTH: It’s understood that the vessel’s current berth could be transferred to the purchaser.
