Remarks

This well equipped yacht has had only one owner from new and has only cruised the Norfolk Broads to date. She is an easily handled, comfortable, cruising yacht, and her shallow draft makes her ideal for cruising inland and coastal waters. Priced for a quick sale. Mooring fee paid until November 2009. Photos showing owner, provided by owner (various dates). Photos showing vessel ashore, also provided by owner (taken during build in 1996). All other photos taken by Topsail (May 2009).

Update July 2009: Reduced to £18,000. A quick sale is desired and sensible offers will be considered.
