Remarks

Designed to provide thrilling racing one day, and pleasurable day sailing the next, the versatility of the Yare & Bure One Design (YBOD/White Boat) means that the she remains as popular now as when originally designed over 100 years ago. Suitable for novices and children, and yet speedy enough to challenge and satisfy the more experienced sailor, she can be easily and safely sailed by all the family. A true Broads classic!

Extensively refurbished and professionally maintained, this YBOD is being very reluctantly offered for sale due to lack of use and the owner's ill health. She is understood to be in excellent condition throughout, and is currently lying afloat and ready for the coming season! Sensible offers will be considered.

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