Remarks:
This River Cruiser Class yacht was originally commissioned by Walter Woods (Ernest Woods father) for his own personal family use. Smuggler was later recruited into the hire fleet until 1939 when she was understood to be used on Hickling Broad to deter paratroopers. She then returned to private use after the war.
Having only been used as a day sailer, it is acknowledged her interior would benefit from some general tidying, however she is wintered ashore every year and her hull well maintained including a couple of recent new planks.
Purchased by the current owners in 1992, this lovely Broads yacht is now offered for sale owing to her owners retiring from sailing.
Please note: The carpet shown in the interior shots has now been removed.
MOORING: It’s understood that her northern Broads mooring may be available to the purchaser subject to agreement from the mooring owner.
