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.

See "more photos" to view 39 internal and external photos of this vessel. Photographs, analysis and comments by name name of Boatshed name.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Where the particulars herein give details of a boat, whether new or used, they are intended to give a fair description of the vessel but are not guaranteed as accurate or complete. They shall not form part of any offer or contract for the sale of the vessel. The prospective purchaser is recommended to independently check the particulars and the vessel. The vendor is not selling in the course of a business unless otherwise stated. Personal property is excluded from the sale of the vessel unless specifically included in the listing specification above or in a purchase contract. Personal property may be equipment or gear not permanently attached to the vessel including but not limited to: artwork, entertainment equipment, fishing equipment, TV receivers, recreational equipment, kayaks, tools, and personal appliances. Photos that may incidentally depict owners' personal property do not convey that such items are included in the sale of the vessel unless such items are specifically listed herein. At all times, where the particulars herein give details of a new boat and/or a new boat to be supplied/built by a builder/manufacturer, or a boat to be chartered, via our introduction, we do not guarantee or assume responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any information offered by third-party companies in respect thereof including without limitation new boat builders/manufacturers, charter companies and/or companies/businesses which are ‘Friends of Boatshed’. We shall not be responsible for, or party to, any transactions, contracts or agreements between you and such third-party providers of products or services and it is incumbent upon you to verify such details direct with such entities and contract with them at your sole discretion and on terms that you agree.
