Broker's Comments
An extremely well presented Clipper River class cruiser that has been professionally rebuilt!
The list is as follows:
2016:
20 new ribs with fastenings
300ft of new planking
70ft replacement deck planking
New toe rails and rubbing strakes
new mast and boom
New cap & throat shrouds
2017/2018:
6 new grown oak floor bearers
New stainless steel keel bolts
Replacement forepeak floorboards
Cabin roof refurbished

New cockpit benches (Mahogany and Oak) & softwood floorboards
2022:
Hull stripped and gloss gel coated white and antifouled
Rubbing strakes and bowsprit varnished
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 2024 season. The vendors are reluctantly selling due to work pressures and moving location.
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 paid until March 2025 and is available, valued at £1800.00! This can be available by transfer negotiation with the marina management.
Early viewing is recommended for this beautiful boat!
