Used Norfolk Gypsy Sailboats for Sale

The Norfolk Gypsy is a 20-foot pocket cruiser that embodies the "modern classic" movement, combining traditional aesthetics with contemporary fiberglass construction. Designed by Andrew Wolstenholme and originally built by Charlie Ward (later succeeded by Neil Thompson Boats), the Gypsy was conceived as a seaworthy, trailerable yacht for those who appreciate the grace of a gunter rig without the maintenance burden of a traditional wooden hull. Since its introduction in 1989, the model has gained a reputation for exceptional build quality and a high level of finish, often featuring heavy teak brightwork and high-grade bronze fittings. The hull design utilizes a shallow-draft long keel supplemented by a heavy galvanized steel centerboard, allowing it to navigate estuaries and dry out upright on its bilge runners while maintaining the stability required for coastal passages.
