  Norfolk Smuggler Mymble

  Norfolk Smuggler Mymble is a lovely example of this 25ft sailing yacht. She has been very well maintained by her current owners and viewing is recommended.

  Mymble was annually prepared and serviced at Ridge Wharf YC. The most recent work in 2023 were the removal of woodskin finish back to the timber on the cockpit seat battens. The hull has als been polished to bring back her beautiful green

  About the Norfolk Smuggler:

  The Norfolk Smuggler 25 has been carefully designed to ensure a single-handed sailing ability when required. The cockpit is as large as the Gypsy’s to allow comfortable sailing for up to six adults and to provide ample stowage space in the cockpit lockers. The cabin trunk provides standing headroom through the yacht without looking cumbersome, and ahead of this there is a safe foredeck to provide security for the foredeck hand.

  This vessel has been designed to be shoal draught with a centreboard increasing draught from 2’9″ with plate up to 4’11” with plate down. The centreboard is raised and lowered with an easy to operate manual winch.

  The Smuggler has a heavy displacement hull with a good ballast ratio to provide power under sail and good internal volume. Due to her firm turn of the bilge hull form, her stability is exceptionally good.

  The high peaked gaff rig, used to such good effect on the Norfolk Gypsy, has again been used on this boat but this time cutter rigged to break down the larger sail area and to provide different permutations when the time comes to reduce sail. The rig will provide excellent sailing performance in all points of sail with exceptionally good windward performance.

  The use of the high-peaked gaff is so the spars are short for ease of transporting and storing. The added benefits of the light weight and flexible gaff is that it tends to bow around the halyard attachment point when the wind gusts, automatically flattening the sail at the right time. Also, by tweaking the peak halyard, you can (although you don’t have to) produce very effective sail shape adjustments when changing point-of-sail, or during varying wind conditions. (To flatten the sail in strong winds or to loosen the leach in light aires) High-tech racing boats spend hundreds of thousands doing this with carbon-fibre and stainless steel – here we do it (in a cruder, but effective way) using douglas spars and polyester line.

  The deck stepped mast is housed in a large tabernacle (with fixed gooseneck to simplify mast lowering). The Smuggler 25 is, therefore, eminently suitable for canal sailing, for example, when mast lowering and raising is necessary on a frequent basis.

  Headroom in the interior is 5’10” (1.79m) on the centreline over a level sole (the centreboard being located under the cabin sole).

  The heads are outfitted to a high standard incorporating a flushing toilet with an optional holding tank facility.

  Smuggler Samphire

  This stunning example of a Norfolk Smuggler has been sailed and enjoyed on the Norfolk Broads over the last 8-10years. She has over wintered and received an NTB service in 2023-24 and on previous winters.

  She is well kitted out with a number of additional extras that certainly makes her stand out. Her mast raising system gives her the extra advantage for easy raising and lowering, especially if you are wanting to navigate the Norfolk Broads or bridged estuaries.
