Martham Boats Judith Class

Boatshed Norfolk are so very pleased to bring this true historic broads classic to the market. Fully restored by the current owners at eye watering cost by the original builders this Judith class 34 centre cockpit is history afloat and encompasses all that the golden age of broads cruising and the best boat building that era had to offer. This Judith class believed to be Judith 8 was built by Martham boats and she has lived at the yard for much of that time with all her maintenance and her comprehensive 2009 to 2012 full restoration being completed by the yard. Apprentices that built her originally were still at the yard and working on her for the restoration! They rarely get more special or cared for than this example of classic broads boating. The restoration was fully documented and that is with the boat with a full photographic file showing just how extensive the work was. The result is simply a magnificent vessel that is sympathetic to her original build yet updated and comfortable. Her wood glows and her hull paintwork and varnish is perfection. Her frugal diesel engine has been serviced every year in the current owners tenure of 17 years and she is a comfortable, clean, tidy, dry and spotless vessel that is admired wherever she goes. She has a large aft double cabin with the main large heads and shower en suite to that. the cabin has lots of cabinetry and storage and all the wood throughout the boat is immaculate and exudes high quality and love. Moving forward we have the cockpit with fold down sides and windows so she can pass under all the broads bridges at the right tides. Seating is plentiful in the cockpit and the canvas ribbed canopy roof is a breeze to retract or put up in moments. Moving forward is the wonderfully cozy saloon which converts to two very large single berths can sit 6 in comfort. The whole boat is oak trimmed and her solid cabinetry is superb as is the stunning headlining and the windows which all give that classic and quality space feel. The oak she is lined with has its own amazing story whuch is all deatined in the restoration file.
In the forward bow lies the modern and quality fitted bespoke galley with all the equipment you would need for comfortable cruising. Diesel warm air heating, broads toll paid for the current season, a mooring at Martham that can be available to the new owner, New boat safety certificate to July 2029 and the fact that she has just emerged from her annual winter storage ashore and maintenance, which includes engine service varnish and antifoul, to ensure that she represents amazing value and a super rare opportunity to acquire what must be one of the very best classic cruisers on the network. She has an impeccable maintenance record and history and documentation to back all that up.
She would make a stunning couples retreat but with the convertible saloon can accommodate guests when required too so is very flexible without loss of space when its just a couple aboard.
She is offered at a very reasonable asking price and has had close to 3 times that spent on her by the current owners in their ownership. If you want a fabulous classic that is instantly usable and in top order, look no further. Please also note she has a fitted all over cover included
