BROKERS NOTE:

Classic Yacht Brokerage have know Piddle for many years and in the current ownership, she has been carefully maintained. The exterior hull was completely re-painted in 2012.  All recommendations carried out following a 2010 survey. Now in end of season condition Piddle requires a few winter repairs, reduced guide price to take this into consideration.

An attractive, well built traditional cabin launch ideal for those lazy days on the river, for family picnics, weekending, fishing or just simply pottering about on the water.
