Norfolk Oyster Feochan

Feochan is a Gaelic word meaning gentle breeze, and an apt name for this Norfolk Oyster that has been sailed in the light breezes on a Scottish loch. Feochan has been much loved by her current owner and he has had her refurbished so that she is in the very best condition for her new owners. As we ll as the standard works, we at NTB have completed the following:

● Hard compound polish both internally and externally followed by the application of a marine wax to restore the condition to good and protectfrom UV damage
