Norfolk Smuggler

We present this stunning Norfolk Smuggler, known as "September Morning", a nautical gem that combines quality and functional design. This sailing vessel, built in 1998, has been meticulously maintained by its owners over the years, sailing along the Norfolk coast, the famous Norfolk Broads, and in the last two years, along the sunny Mediterranean coast of Spain. It is currently in very good condition and is available in El Masnou, Barcelona, for a price of 44,000 euros.
The Norfolk Smuggler is a model that stands out for its meticulous design, created by renowned designer Andrew Wolstenholme. With a length of 7.69 meters and a draft of 2.69 meters, this cruising yacht is ideal for both experienced sailors and those looking for a vessel they can handle independently. Its ability to sail singlehanded is a major attraction, allowing a single sailor to manage the vessel with ease, resulting in a comfortable and safe sailing experience.
One of the most appreciated features of the Norfolk Smuggler is its heavy displacement hull, which provides excellent stability and great internal volume, making every crossing enjoyable, even in less favorable weather conditions. The hull shape, with a firm turn in the bilge, ensures that stability is exceptional, allowing sailors to enjoy a more relaxed sailing experience. The deck layout and interior design are also intended to maximize comfort and safety at sea.
The high peak gaff rig, which has been adapted to a cutter configuration in this unit, allows for efficient distribution of sail area, facilitating sail reduction when necessary. This translates into exceptional performance on all points of sail, particularly excelling on close-hauled courses, where the Norfolk Smuggler showcases its true power deployment capability on the water.
With a dry weight of 4 metric tons and a total sail area of 38.26 m², this vessel offers a balance between robustness and maneuverability, ideal for sailors seeking both adventure and pleasure on their journeys. The interior of the Norfolk Smuggler is designed to comfortably accommodate up to four people, with a cabin that offers a headroom of 1.79 meters, ensuring that comfort is not compromised even in limited spaces. The teak wood details and strategic lighting create a cozy and elegant atmosphere.

Proximity to Barcelona provides access to a rich maritime culture and various maintenance and service options for vessels. Additionally, the Mediterranean waters are ideal for enjoying sailing year-round, making this location a true paradise for sailors.
