Specification BROKER'S COMMENTS With its vertical stem and overhanging stern, WILLOW WREN is a typical English racing cutter, a plank on edge yacht from this era – and very few yachts of this age and size exist so heads turn wherever the graceful WILLOW WREN appears. She holds a German Safety Certificate for Traditional Vessels, coded for 12 people on overnight cruises in near coastal waters and 25 people for day charter. This magnificent gentleman’s yacht is ideal for the popular Mediterranean Classic Yacht Racing circuit, but also for family cruising.
