Broker's Comments

These Aston 40's are highly sought after river and estuary cruisers. Used primarily as holiday hire boats, she was built in 1969/70 by Barnes Brinkcraft in Beccles .

Rarely available , these waterways vessels are a joy to own, being ideal for extended cruising and living aboard.

She is semi displacement with a long central box keel, coupled with the reliable long standing 4 cylinder BMC 2.2 engine. Upgraded and well maintained by her current owners with the photos speaking for themselves.

We cannot comment on her moorings availability but she is currently situated in an extremely attractive and sought after part of the Suffolk coast.

Early viewing is recommended as this boat will go quickly.
