The sails are in good condition and the navy blue sail cover is recent.
The engine, a 5hp Mercury 2 stroke, was last serviced in 2020 and can be mounted on purpose-built, stainless steel side brackets making it much easier to mount the outboard when required.
Over £14,000 has been lavished on her by the current owners and the hull has recently had some planking replaced and the hull repainted ready for the new season.
In addition to all the above the boat has recently (2025) been repainted.
Interestingly, she starred in the story "The Cruise of the Clipper", a story of the Norfolk Broads written by Arthur Morgan Derham in 1952.
The mooring is available, this can be available by transfer negotiation with the marina management.
Early viewing is recommended for this beautiful boat!
