Remarks

This traditionally styled river cruiser has been in the same ownership since leaving the Herbert Woods hire fleet in 2003, after spending only 6 years in hire. She has been very well maintained and is beautifully presented. Her owners state that she is very easily sailed and very well balanced. With all the comforts of home, including a shower and heating, the easy maintenance of a GRP hull, and the grace and beauty of a traditional Broads River Cruiser, she will surely give much pleasure to her new owner. She is sadly for sale due to her owners' relocation. Her mooring, in a very desirable Broads location, may be available to the new owner subject to agreement from the mooring owner.
