Remarks

This beautiful River Cruiser Class broads yacht is well known throughout the Broads, having raced and cruised extensively with her previous owner (who first sailed her as a child when she was owned by his maths teacher!) following his 'rescue' and painstaking renovation of her from 1989 to 1993. She was purchased by the current owner in 2017, following which she underwent major refurbishment at Eastwood Whelptons in 2018 - including the epoxying of her hull, so as to substantially reduce ongoing maintenance requirements in the future, and the installation of an electric motor. She has since again been part of the Broads landscape, both cruising and completing the 2019 3RR, and she is now reluctantly offered for sale due to her owner's relocation.

"Rogue" featured in a major Classic Boat magazine article in March 2021, and she once again impressed with her performance at the 2021 3RR! Of 112 starters and 33 finishers, she was placed 14th on handicap, and 3rd River Cruiser!.

Successfully combining the beautiful lines and traditional character of the river cruiser class, and the advantages and reduced maintenance requirements of modern boat building techniques, materials and equipment, this Broads yachts is one not to be missed!

MOORING: It's understood that this vessel's northern Broads mooring is transferable (current cost approximately £1,650 for 12 months, with a shorter seasonal arrangement possible by negotiation).
