Remarks:
Presented in very good order throughout having been professionally maintained with little expense spared, this Westward class river cruiser is an excellent family Broads yacht, offering plenty of space to comfortably accommodate the whole family, but being well mannered enough to be easily sailed and raced by just two. She is fast too, with RCC results to prove her capabilities.
A really beautiful and well maintained Broads yacht that’s for sale now the children have left home and there’s a need for something smaller.
PLEASE NOTE: The photos show her over a few years. The pictures on the trailer are recent from May 2024. Under sail are 2019 and on the water from the 2022/23 season.
