Norfolk Oyster ‘Tread Lightly’ is a great example of the fleet. She’s in great condition and has only had two previous owners. She has an impressive pedigree, winning The Oyster World Championships many times as well as several races down on the Orwell. Tread Lightly has been moored and sailed in Wells harbour since 2022 by her current owner. She has also been professionally maintained each season here at NTB. She is being sold as the current owner doesn’t have time to sail due to charity and community commitments.

Tread Lightly has been copper coating, thus reducing the annual maintenance costs. She also comes with a Honda BF4 outboard new in 2022 which has been professionally winterised and serviced each year and run on Aspen fuel.

Tread Lightly is being sold, having been washed and packed down for winter, as she is and at an amazing price. She really is a great boat and will be a good deal for the next owner.

Tread Lightly comes with all the standard Oyster equipment and fitting and the following:

  • White topsides and blue topstrake
  • Light cream gel coat cockpit
  • Copper coated antifouling on hull
  • Honda BF4 longshaft outboard (new two years ago)
  • Furling Jib
  • Mainsail Cover
  • Blue Cockpit cover
  • Two forward cave lockers mounted under the front deck
  • Copper band on mast for when sailing with full sail
  • Double watertight TCL4 locker in aft deck
  • Full hardwood seat battens
  • Teak anchor chocks on fore deck
  • Teak boom gallows mounted on aft deck
  • Swivel jib cleats
  • Gunmetal gunwale protection strip on transom
  • Gunmetal fairleads mounted on forward gunwales
  • Anti-bird spike on mast
  • Burgee halyard
  • Wooden oars in recessed gulley in bottom of cockpit
