Remarks

The Kinsman has the same hull, deck and rig as the Yeoman, but differs in having a lifting keel making her easily trailerable. With excellent all round performance, the Kinsman is suited to both family cruising and racing (with many active fleets still sailing throughout the UK), and is also easy to launch and recover, potentially enabling her owner to make considerable savings on mooring fees! This example has been owned by the current owner for some 9 years and is understood to be in good condition throughout. Somewhat unusually, she spent much of the first 6 years of her current ownership sailing in the Med! She has since been bought back to Norfolk and is now sadly for sale due to lack of use. Priced for a quick sale!

PLEASE NOTE: A 3.5hp four stroke Mercury outboard (2012, used for less than 10 hours) is available by separate negotiation if required (asking price £350).
