Remarks:
In the current custodianship for some 10 years, this well known Broads yacht is understood to be in excellent condition throughout and is reluctantly offered for sale due to ill health. At a mere 120 years old, “Pirate” is a real piece of Broadland history! She offers spacious accommodation for 2 (or ‘friendly’ accommodation for 5 adventurous souls!) and a great racing record. Described by the vendor as a thoroughbred, rather than a race horse, this lovely yacht is sure to please!
Offered with an optional purpose-built road trailer in very good condition, subject to negotiation.
Please note: The vendor has indicated that he may be willing to sell a half share in this vessel. Please contact Topsail for further information.
