Remarks

This River Cruiser Class yacht requires complete restoration. She is without doubt a very worthwhile project and will certainly be a fine craft, with character and plenty of space for family cruising, once restored to her former glory as demonstrated by the photographs at the bottom of this page which were taken in July 1998 when she was previously offered for sale through Topsail. She is currently lying in a fully serviced boatyard and it is understood that her new owner may be able to retain the current hard-standing space for the duration of the restoration. Additionally, there could also be a possibility of obtaining a mooring in the yard when required. Currently lying ashore. Sensible offers will be considered.
