In hire with the original builder until the mid 1990s, this Broads half decker’s first private owner was the now vendor who more recently purchased the boat for a second time just 5 years ago! Immediately prior to the vendor’s re-purchase, she was totally rebuilt to a very high standard over the course of some 5 years or so by Phillip Peake, a very well respected local boatbuilder, at the time intended for his own personal use. Complete with a leased mooring fully paid for to March 2026 at a very desirable northern Broads location, trailer, recent sails, rigging and cover (offering occasional overnight wild camping opportunities!) and fully restored to a very high standard just over 5 years ago, this beautiful half decker offers an all but unique option to anyone looking for a traditional Broads day sailer. Sadly offered for sale due to the purchase of a larger Broads yacht.

Please note: As an open boat with no fixed fuel or electrical systems, this half decker is exempt from the Boat Safety Scheme.
