Golden Haze was constructed in 1880/90 as a steam driven naval pinnace. She ended up on Windermere where she was rescued and returned to the Broads 18 years ago. Woods yard set about a thorough restoration of the pitch pine hull. The cabin is of mahogany and is fitted with opening windows and a clerestory which allows full standing height throughout. The aft cockpit seats 4 to 6 and can be used as an occasional extra sleeping area as it has an excellent tonneau cover. Steering is from the forward cockpit with seating there for 4 guests. The interior feels extremely spacious with a large galley area for food preparation, good cupboard space with a decent fridge and to the starboard side a toilet compartment with sink and shower. The large seating bunks make up into two separate or one king sized bed. The boat has a shore power outlet as well as a generator for A.C. power and Eberspacher heating. The present owners have fitted out the interior in blue with delightful sand white and blue striped curtains and cushions. A stowable table seats eight. Golden Haze has a full length off white scalloped canopy and a full length winter cover. The boat safety certificate is valid until mid May 2010 and the boat is currently licenced for the Broads where she is available for viewing by appointment. There is a survey from April 2006 which makes edifying reading for a prospective purchaser. We think this is a rare opportunity to view a boat which could be driven away as is without having to revisit a boatyard ! Call us for more photos on 01491 578870
