Remarks

Similar in many respects to the Cornish Shrimper, but built locally here in Norfolk, the Norfolk Gypsy 20 is an extremely attractive, traditionally styled cruising yacht offering a low maintenance and seaworthy design ideal for exploring the shallow waters of the east coast and beyond. With the addition of a road trailer (not included in sale), she would also be well suited to trailer sailing, and her shallow draft and bilge runners enable her to be beached, or kept on a drying mooring, without excessive heel. A very versatile yacht with a compact but very functional cabin, well equipped for two and with ample space for chart work and instruments, and a large deep and safe cockpit.

This example has cruised the Norfolk Broads with her current owners over the past six years, and having had a comprehensive service at Neil Thompson Boats during winter 2017/18 at a cost of over £7,000, she is presented in great condition throughout.
