Owners Comments
“Hot Toddy” was fitted out by her first owner who was a professional joiner and he completed the interior to a higher than Hunter standard (upgraded chart table etc.). Sadly he passed away soon after “Hot Toddy” was launched and her second owner sailed her from Fox’s in Ipswich on the River Orwell and added additional electronics. Her current owner has owned her for 11 years and used her for day sailing in and around the River Blackwater. She has been lightly used throughout all ownerships and comes ashore each winter.
