Remarks:
Lady Harriet is a pedigree Broads cruiser and a past winner of the Southern Rivers Navigation Race.
Well set up and newly refurbished by Hunter’s Yard, Ludham in 2024 for its long-time owner whose family, now grown up, no longer have time to sail her. With her new lifting cabin top canvas, she has a light and airy interior with plenty of standing headroom. The GRP hull and decks offer low maintenance and the extensive refurbished brightwork make this a delightful looking cruiser. A full height shower compartment and good berths make for home-from-home comforts while the well-equipped galley will keep the family in hot food out on the water. As well as sparkling sailing performance her easy rig promises more relaxed sailing when the mood is right.
Proceeds from the sale of Lady Harriet will go to the Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust at Hunter’s Yard and support its work introducing young people to the challenges and excitement of sailing and the Broads heritage.
