Remarks

This immaculately presented Farrington 25 is, without doubt, one of the best Farrington 25s on the Norfolk Broads! Purchased by her current owners in 2017, she has been fully professionally maintained under both their and her previous owner’s ownership with no expense spared. She comes with a huge inventory including racing and cruising rigs (both being easily managed by two), a diesel inboard, and a cover for every occasion!. The Farrington 25 is renowned for her combination of low maintenance and traditional, graceful appearance, and appeals equally to cruisers and racers alike. Having been Broads sailors for over 20 years, the vendors wish to change sailing area and so this gorgeous river cruiser class Broads yacht is now looking for new custodians. Absolutely beautiful!

MOORING: The vessel’s current northern Broads mooring, which is in a very desirable location, is paid to April 2024 and is understood to be transferable (approximately £1,600 per annum).
