PRESS REVIEW:
‘We liked the new Crown Fletcher immensely and, judging from many positive comments at the Show we are not the only ones.

The reasons are not hard to fathom: an obvious sea-kindly counterance, on the back of a tried and respected working hull, combined with a solid, well-executed fit-out and sound practical touches to a most adequate lay-out. And of course, all this within 32ft.’
