Remarks

Built in Essex, the Dauntless 22 is a very pretty traditional estuary sailing cruiser, ideal for the shallow waters of the east coast and Norfolk Broads. This lovely example has been well maintained and constantly improved over recent years, including the installation of a new diesel inboard engine in 2010. Her charming cabin offers extremely comfortable accommodation for two, with cabin heating and toilet holding tank, and the windowed awning provides very useful additional living space when moored up. Gorgeous!

MOORING: The vessel's current northern Broads mooring (in a superb location!) is paid to 31st December 2019 and is understood to be transferable (approximately £1,600 per annum).
