Remarks

With her shallow draft and easily lowered mast, the Newbridge Venturer is a great little sailing cruiser for the Broads. An ideal first yacht offering comfortable accommodation (including separate heads compartment with sea toilet with holding tank!) and reported to sail very well. Sadly for sale due to the owner now having use of another boat.
