Details
Japonica 5 – Traditional 4 Berth Gaff-Rigged Sailing Yacht
One tank of fuel included.
Japonica 5 is a 30ft traditional gaff-rigged yacht with four single berths, so everyone on board gets their own bed. That makes her a good fit for friends or family sailing together. She has a separate toilet with wash basin and a full-length awning, and one tank of fuel is included. You'll set off from our family-run yard on the Upper Thurne, with Hickling Broad and Horsey Mere on your doorstep.
