The Thurne Restricted Class sailing cruiser, a cabin version of the Yare & Bure One Design (YBOD) or 'White Boat', is known for her impeccable sailing performance, both single handed or crewed. With her GRP hull and timber superstructure, she combines the advantages of modern materials and low maintenance with the grace and beauty of a traditional Norfolk Broads river cruiser.

Purchased by the vendor in 2011, this Thurne class has had only 2 previous owners from new and is understood to be in near immaculate condition! A recently refurbished road trailer is also available by separate negotiation if required and provides an opportunity to minimise winter storage costs should space allow at home. For sale as the vendor has downsized to a day sailer.

Undeniably one of the very best Thurne class yachts you will find, and complete with as-new jib and awning, both purchased just prior to lockdown 1.

Please note: It's understood that this vessel is at present exempt from the Boat Safety Scheme having no fixed fuel or gas systems installed.
