Our fleet of 8 traditional gaff-rigged Broads River Cruisers are part of The Broad’s tradition of low freeboard inland waterways cruising and racing yachts with the core design dating back to Victorian times when holidays in Norfolk became popular with the gentry of the time.
Our fleet of 8 Bermudian Sloops are a more modern style of yacht more akin to current sea going designs that have more spacious internal accommodation. They also feature a lighter and easier to handle rig than our gaff rigged yachts.
Our half-decker, Ragged Robin is part of the Waveney One Design Fleet that was designed by W S Parker in the early 1920s for competitive racing. She is a gunter rigged open day boat of around 22ft length made of oak frames, pine planking and a steel keel.
