Broker Remarks

Owners Comments:
Commissioned in 2011 as “Willow”, the 9^th of the class, her first owners sailed her mainly on the East Coast and Norfolk Broads. In addition to the standard specification, she was commissioned with the following optional extra items:
Anchor, plough type 11.5kg

Two-tone decks (Grey)
12V socket
Echosounder
240V shore supply incl shore cable and 2 sockets

We are the second owners and bought her in 2018. We have sailed her in the West Country, principally from Salcombe to the Isles of Scilly.
A fantastic family boat, she has been sailed 4 up, 2 up and extensively singlehanded.
With her lifting keel, Tribute has been ideal for beach exploration and creek-crawling, but she has also proved herself in challenging conditions offshore and is well worth her RCD B classification.

• New gas piping to conform with marine gas regulations (2018)
