Remarks:
The Yeoman was designed as an easily controlled, fixed keelboat with excellent all-round performance making her equally suited to both racing and family cruising. She can easily be towed by a family car (although regretfully no trailer is available for purchase with this example), and with active racing fleets at NBYC Wroxham, Horning (including Snowflakes SC in the winter!), Rutland and Lough Erne (Northern Ireland), the Yeoman remains a very popular keelboat. This very well presented example, not long owned by the vendor, is for sale due to the purchase of a cabin yacht (a Pegasus 700) and appears to be in great condition throughout. With two suits of sails and several upgrades, this is a really nice example of the class.
