Remarks

Believed to have been kept on the Norfolk Broads since new (just 15 years ago), this Pippin 20 is a really nice example - despite the best efforts of the tree overhead! Solidly built, and offering a modern interior layout, she provides comfortable accommodation for up to four in a light and bright, very well presented cabin. With her lifting keel and rudder, she's ideally suited to sailing in and exploring shallow waters and creeks, whether that be inland as now, or on the coast. Easily handled, the Pippin 20 is an ideal option if you're looking for a first boat, are downsizing from a larger yacht or, with the addition of a suitable trailer, for trailer sailing. For sale due to a change of plans/vendor's desire to downsize.

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

MOORING: Subject to negotiation and agreement from the mooring owner, it's understood that the vessel's current northern Broads mooring may be available to the purchaser until 31st March 2023 (current cost c.£700pa). Any extension thereafter, if available, would be at the berth owner's discretion.
