"Family cruiser that's close to ideal" - not our words but those of the well known and respected yachting journalist James Jermain when he featured our Arabella in his Yachting Monthly used boat test series in June 2004. Built in 1999, Arabella's shoal draught of 1.3m makes her absolutely ideal for cruising the swatch ways, scenic rivers and backwaters of the East Coast. Whether it be for a weekend break or an extended cruise she has comfortable accommodation for six people in three cabins including a huge aft cabin. Her spacious, well-appointed interior and her comprehensive inventory that includes hot and cold pressurised water, shower, refrigerator, GPS, navtex, autopilot and cabin heater provide comfortable sailing especially out of season. All control lines are led back to the cockpit making her easy to sail with a smaller crew.
