Remarks

Both easily handled and fast, this river cruiser class Broads yacht is understood to have been meticulously maintained since new by her (retired) boat builder owner and is consequently presented in fabulous condition throughout. She is clearly a much loved yacht, with her owner stating that "Glory is what I call a thoroughbred of sailing yachts and words can't describe how wonderful it is to sail her". She is offered for sale with an optional road trailer enabling her to be stored and maintained at home if desired.

A £2,000 discount on the current asking price is offered if the purchaser wishes to purchase the vessel without her current Gunter rig and sails.

This vessel is exempt from the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS).

MOORING: It's understood that the vessel's northern Broads mooring may be available to the purchaser subject to agreement from the mooring owner (currently paid to 1st April 2019, approximate cost £36 per foot per annum).
