Remarks

Understood to sail very well, this ex-hire Broads sailing cruiser is regretfully offered for sale due to lack of use. She was afloat and in commission last year, although little used, and she now requires a 'spring clean' and general tidying prior to recommissioning for the coming season. With her spacious accommodation, good sized cockpit, diesel inboard engine and easily handled Bermudan rig, the Sun Charm 28/Brinkcraft 28 is a ideal yacht for family sailing. Sensibly priced for a quick sale. An easy and rewarding project!

MOORING: It's understood that a mooring may be available to the purchaser if required (northern Broads).
