Remarks

With her lifting cabin roof and her good sized separate heads compartment, this Fine Lady class Broads river cruiser provides unusually spacious accommodation for two. Whilst she would benefit from some tidying and TLC, together with a new awning, she had a good survey in 2013 (see extracts below). For sale due to lack of time. An easy project!

MOORING: It is understood that this vessel's mooring on the northern Broads could be transferred to the purchaser, subject to agreement from the mooring owner.

Comments from 2013 Survey by Insight Marine Surveys Ltd.:

"'Summer Breeze' is a good example of this class of Yacht. She has been well constructed. She has proven to be persistently durable and should provide many more years of service. I found her intact and with no indications of serious distress, and in my opinion, she is worthy of insurance for the stated intended use as a River Cruiser for general pleasure use within sea areas laid down by European Directive (94/25/EC) class D, inland."

"Vessel Fair Market Value: (in Pounds Sterling) 10,000.00 (Ten Thousand Pounds)."
