Remarks

The Leisure 20 remains a deservedly popular small sailing cruiser offering surprisingly spacious accommodation for four and the support of a very active owner's association. Making a great low maintenance choice for both inland and coastal sailing, the Leisure 20 is also an ideal first sail boat for the single-hander, couple or small family.

This Leisure 20 has been in the current ownership for some 15 or so years, first on the Humber and for the last eight or so years, here on the Norfolk Broads (with the additional of mast lowering gear). Benefiting from a recent new outboard motor and an as yet unused new mainsail, this little pocket cruiser - with her lovely 'homely' varnished wood and gelcoat interior - is sadly for sale as her owners are retiring from sailing.

Please note: No trailer is available or included in the sale.
