Remarks

This very attractive and much admired Clipper Class Broads yacht is well balanced, with an efficient and easily handled rig, and can comfortably be sailed short-handed. At some time in the past, her cabin has been shortened to provide a longer cockpit, which makes for very comfortable day sailing and socialising with guests. Her two-berth cabin, with a lifting roof, still provides ample space for two adults to comfortably overnight on board. In the same ownership for 13 years, this yacht has been maintained to a high standard every winter and she is presented in very good condition throughout as a consequence. Much enjoyed by the owners, she is currently used for racing and cruising on the Broads on a weekly basis.

A really lovely Broads River Cruiser Class yacht!
