Remarks:
This beautiful broads yacht is believed to have be built by Alfred Pegg of Wroxham in the 1920’s although her exact age is unknown. She offers comfortable accommodation for two and a quiet and ecologically sound electric motor. She has been in the same ownership for the last 25 years and was much loved after having had a full re-build in 2000 essentially resulting in a new boat. She is now offered sale after deciding to downsize to a Thurne Class
Please note: All interior photos and those of her ashore are from 2023. Photos of her sailing are from various years.
