Remarks:
The Bure Classic is a delightful river cruiser class yacht with accommodation for two (and occasionally four) and excellent sailing characteristics in all winds. Colin & Paul Buttifant, expert craftsmen and builders of the class state “Their fast and lively performance can be appreciated by both novice and experienced yachtsmen alike”.
As a beautifully styled Broads auxiliary yacht, and with all the charm of the traditional Broads yachts that came before her, she understandably gains admiring looks and comments where ever she goes on the Norfolk Broads.
Constructed in GRP and mahogany, and equipped with an inboard electric motor, she combines grace with modern design and convenience in an undeniably exquisite package! The silent electric engine means all that can be heard when ‘motoring’ along are the natural sounds of the wind and the Broads.
She has been well maintained throughout her life by her original builders at Swallowtail Boatyard with fully documented history from commencement of her build in 1998. The vendor informs us that she’s only for sale due to illness affecting their balance.
Tarn et Lot is in first-class condition and ready to sail away.
