Remarks

This beautiful Broads River Cruiser has been maintained to a very high standard by her current owner. He has enjoyed considerable racing success with her, but she is still very well suited to cruising. Her interior layout is ideal for two people, with two further occasional berths available in the cockpit with her awning erected. She comes with a road trailer and so can be stored and maintained at home.
