Broker's Comments

A stunning spring project with most of the hard work already completed. Recently re-planked above the waterline as well as all electrics working and the engine does start with no issues. She is ready to be launched and used on the Broads.

The main work needed on her seems to be largely cosmetic: paint work, carpeting, new upholstery being the main stand out jobs. The wood throughout is looking really good, truly showing off the beauty of these 50's cruisers.

The owner's original plan was to get her completed and use her for private use as well as an Air BnB to which she would certainly make a quaint little weekender boat for those looking stay in Norfolk.

If you are after a real head-turning boat, that represents the very best of the gentlemen's cruiser style, then come down and take a look, she really isn’t to be missed!
