Broker's Comments

This classic wooden dayboat, measuring 17ft 2in overall, has been designed and constructed by specialist craftsman builders on the Isle of Wight who produce just four boats per year to order. She is beautifully finished and in first class condition, with the benefit of a road trailer for ease of transport. These boat details are subject to contract.
