Remarks:
This very well presented river cruiser class yacht was the subject of a thorough renovation in the early 2000s and has continued to be maintained to a high standard since. A new Nanni diesel inboard engine was installed in 2014, and her keel and rudder were replaced in 2013 to a new custom design. She is a very competitive yacht and has many trophies to her credit, including Cock of the Broads, Breydon and Barton overall winner, Autumn Trophy and Best River cruiser in the Tri Icicle. That said, she is well balanced and easily cruised by just two. She offers spacious and comfortable family accommodation for four with a flexible layout, and her unique, original, winch operated lifting roof, painstaking renovated by a previous owner, provides both full standing headroom throughout the cabin and an outstanding feature that cannot fail to impress! This beautiful River Cruiser Class Broads yacht would be ideal for a family who wish to both cruise and race.
