Broker's Comments

Here is a very pretty and stunning example of the Welsford Pathfinder that was very well built to a high standard and first launched August 9th 2015. She is a very seaworth modern classic gaff yawl Ideally suited to broads dinghy cruising enthusiasts. She comes with a high speed road trailer and small Tohatsu outboard motor, so is easily trailerable behind a small family car to enjoy cruising at any location and is a beautifully presented and ready to go sailing package!
She has 7 water tight compartments which make her an extremely safe boat.
Her sails were made by Suffolk Sails and were new in 2015 and have hardly been used, with just a single season of use. Her woodwork and decking is just stunning and really makes this nice little boat bursting with character and style.
She also benefits from a fully fitted cover to protect her when not being used and the mizzen mast is a nice additional feature.
Her lifting and ballasted centre board ensures good stability and flexibility.
This is a well respected true classic boat that has been well built and finished and will delight her new owner for many years to come.
First launched in August 2015
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
