This excellent example of a Norfolk Urchin is in wonderful condition having been lightly sailed over the years. Being build number 1 she was displayed at a number of boat shows and has always been stored ashore under cover in a garage keeping her in fantastic condition.

The Norfolk Urchin is immensely strong throughout, yet light enough to be easily handled on and off a trailer, or pulled up a beach. The Urchin has a ‘firm turn’ bilge hull ensuring safe sailing even in rough tidal harbours and estuaries.

Elli has spent her years sailing in Chichester harbour, being launched from Cobnor Point at the southern end of Chidham and sailed to the harbour villages and other locations including:

Eastwards to Dell Quay, Birdham, Bosham and Itchenor. Westwards to Thorney island and Emsworth.  She is perfectly located for sailing within the wonderful East Head nature reserve with its sandy beaches which sits at the eastern edge of the harbour entrance.

Elli is advertised by NTB but is currently lying in Chidham, nr Chichester Harbour. Viewings will be by appointment with her owner.
