Construction

Broom 345 Offshore built in 1997 by Broom to a design by Andrew Wolstenholme. White GRP hull, superstructure and decks with moulded non-slip surfaces. Hydraulic wheel steering to twin spade rudders.

Barella has a current Boat Safety Scheme Certificate until April 2023, has just been polished, anti-fouled and had new anodes fitted ready for the coming season. Her adaptable planing hull design works well for a variety of uses thanks to the keel section which significantly improves slow speed handling and she is only for sale due to her knowledgeable owner now looking to move to a different style of boating.
