1994 Harrison Butler 27' Bermudan Cutter with Volvo Penta 18hp inboard diesel engine. 'Omega Breeze' is something of a unique find - after her construction by the International Boatbuilding Training College (IBTC) in Lowestoft, Suffolk, she came to Birdham Pool Marina and sadly for various reasons was barely used. Her mast still lays in the rack from the day she came.
1994 Harrison Butler 27' Bermudan Cutter with Volvo Penta 18hp inboard diesel engine. 'Omega Breeze' is something of a unique find - after her construction by the International Boatbuilding Training College (IBTC) in Lowestoft, Suffolk, she came to Birdham Pool Marina and sadly for various reasons was barely used. Her mast still lays in the rack from the day she came. Therefore she now requires re-commissioning but otherwise presents an opportunity as a little used example of just one of 5 units of this particular Omega design built by the IBTC. Built in Iroko on oak frames, sleeps 5 in the forward cabin and saloon, with galley area (including oven/hob) and heads compartment (toilet supplied, to be fitted). Not one to be missed by classic boat enthusiasts.
