Remarks:
This delightful little Broads river cruiser class yacht has been lovingly maintained for in excess of 25 years by the current owner, and she is understood to have had only one other private owner since leaving hire in the 1970s. With many period and thoughtfully designed bespoke features, she offers character far beyond that which her diminutive size, being just a mere twenty one and a half feet long, would suggest! Sadly for sale due to the passing of time, this Broads yacht is seriously for sale and sensible offers will be considered.
Please note: The majority of photos are from June 2023 except the photos of her ashore which are from December 2021.
