Remarks:
This very pretty, clinker hull, lug sail Crab Boat was originally kept at Pin Mill in Suffolk. She was purchased by the current owner in 2014, and restored at the Rescue Wooden Boats centre in Stiffkey during her first winter in Norfolk. Repainted in new livery, she was initially kept on a mooring in Brancaster harbour before being relocated to the Norfolk Broads in more recent years. The owner is a professional artist and author, and he has used the boat as an ideal painting platform. “Dorothy Florence” is also featured in one of his books, “Boswell’s Holland”.
Please note: No trailer is available or included in the sale.
