Remarks:
This one is a real stunner! Offering an unusual (and arguably luxurious!) layout ideal for two – and referred to as the ‘honeymoon boat’ during her previous life in hire – this Chumley & Hawke river cruiser class yacht is hard to beat if cruising as a couple and comfort is desired! She has been lovingly restored and maintained to a very high standard by her current owner (a retired carpenter) for some 18 years, included new engine and sails in 2008 and new epoxy decks in 2012 (completed under professional guidance). She also had a new keel and most of her main beams replaced soon after being purchased by the current owner back in 2004. Varnished annually, she gleams! A much and regularly admired yacht – and it’s not had to see why! Very regretfully for sale. Sensible offers will be considered.
Please note: The cool box and “Bosun” the dog are both excluded from the sale!
MOORING: The vessel’s very desirable northern Broads mooring is understood to be transferable (paid annually but must be vacated during winter months, just ~£300 per annum!)
