The Colvic Northerner 26 is a robust, small motor cruiser powered by a single Perkins 4108 36hp diesel. This particular example was fitted to a good standard by her first owner and spent much of her early life on the Norfolk Broads followed by some years sailing the Dorset Coast then, more recently, the upper reaches of the Thames.

She is well equipped and benefits from a Vetus bowthruster, a Mercury 9.9hp 4 stroke auxiliary outboard engine with power trim and tilt, 2 new 100w solar panels, Pascal Atkey charcoal heater and Webasto heating.  Currently moored in a small working boatyard with possible option to liveaboard.  Viewing by appointment through Howard Ford Marine Sales
