Remarks

Presented in very good order throughout having been professionally maintained with little expense spared, this Westward class river cruiser is an excellent family Broads yacht, offering plenty of space to comfortably accommodate the whole family, but being well mannered enough to be easily sailed and raced by just two. She is fast too, with RCC results to prove her capabilities. A really beautiful Broads yacht!
