Remarks

This lovely Broads river cruiser class yacht offers very spacious accommodation for two, plus an additional one or two berths (second being a small child's berth) in the forepeak (or even on the large foredeck!). She also has a large cockpit which can easily accommodate six in comfort. With a nearly new full stem to stern awning and a very reliable four stroke outboard, she is in commission and ready to sail. Owned by the current owners since 2009, she is now for sale due to the purchase of another yacht. A much loved river cruiser that is presented in great order throughout.

A quick sale is desired and OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED!
