Remarks

A really lovely traditional Broads half decker which was comprehensively restored with no expense spared just over 10 years ago and has clearly been maintained to a high standard since. She is quite unusual in having an inboard Stuart Turner engine (a work of art in itself!) and she is being sold complete with a road trailer, enabling her to be over wintered at her owner's home.

As featured in the BBC's "Escape To The Country"! 2011, Series 12, Episode 29, at 17 mins (under previous ownership).
