Remarks:
A comfortable and practical cruising yacht, offering good sailing qualities and lovely, spacious accommodation, this ex-hire Broads sailing cruiser is based on the popular Prospect 900 yacht and was built locally in Suffolk with some modifications specifically for Norfolk Broads cruising/sailing. Light and easy to handle, she’s suitable for beginners and more experienced sailors alike. With accommodation for five (one double berth and one single berth in the main saloon, and two further singles forwards), she’s also equipped with hot water, shower and a gas cabin heater, ensuring that extended stays on board can be enjoyed all year round. A very smart and well maintained sailing cruiser!
