Remarks

A lovely, and much loved, traditional Broads yacht which is sadly now in need of some refurbishment and work prior to relaunching. Last afloat 2021, and in commission annually prior to that, this large river cruiser offers lots of space for crew and guests. The vendor comments that although cracks between her planking can be seen in the photos, her sides did close up during the wet winter weather and she reliably closes up under the waterline when afloat provided she is held at a given depth by crane when first launched for the season. Offered with an optional 2011 galvanised road trailer, this is an ideal winter project for someone with the required skills and time and space at home to store and work on this lovely old lady! Local delivery is also offered if required.
