Broker's Comments

Preliminary Details: awaiting confirmation by owner. This is the opportunity to purchase a truly unique boat. A classic motor-sailor, heavily built and close framed from premium timbers, she was described in Yachting World as "beautifully built and immensely strong". Internally the boat has been fitted-out and maintained to an extremely high standard. She has been with the current owner for some fourteen years, cruising the East Anglian waters and to the near continent, wintered ashore and in commission, most seasons. Circumstances have resulted in a reluctant sale of this vessel, therefore reasonable offers will be considered.
