Remarks

With her very comfortable accommodation and Broads-specific design, the Sun Dance 26 is a great family Broads sailing cruiser - and with two cabins, a large galley and a heads compartment with shower, she'll appeal to the non-sailors in the family too! Benefiting from a constant programme of improvements in recent years (those in 2012 costing over £3000 alone), this yacht is now unexpectedly for sale due to a change of circumstances. Currently lying afloat and ready to sail!

The vendor would consider a part or full exchange for an automatic, two berth camper van.
