Remarks

With her reputation as being one of the prettiest boats on the northern Broads, this lovely little sailing cruiser combines ease of maintenance thanks to her GRP hull with traditional Broads yacht ethics and the renowned sailing performance of the 'White Boat'. Fully restored to a very high standard and with no expense spared about 10 years ago, she has since been maintained and looked after ashore by the same boat builder each winter. With a nearly new trailer available by negotiation, a future owner could also have the option of keeping and maintain "Silver Sprite" at home should space allow, thereby reducing the overall cost of ownership. A truely beautiful little yacht for sale as the owner is sadly retiring from Broads sailing.

This yacht is seriously for sale and ALL SERIOUS OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED!

Please note: This vessel is Boat Safety Scheme exempt.
