the fleet
Eastwood Whelpton have a fleet of 16 yachts that are suited to sailing on the rivers and lakes that make up The Broads, and we will have a yacht that will meet your needs in terms of size of accommodation, comfort and sailing ability.
Have a browse to learn about our fleet, search for availability and book online if you wish or feel free to call us and chat about your requirements so that we can find the right boat and holiday for you.
Our half-decker yachts are classic wooden open day boats, all nearly 100 years old and are all part of the long standing Broads racing fleets. They are gunter rigged keel boats of 22ft length that will delight experienced sailors but are also ideal to learn on with the support of an Instructor from our Sailing School.

“As a group of 10 sailors from a Hertfordshire sailing club, we have just spent our fourth annual Broads holiday weekend with Eastwood Whelpton boats. As usual we had lots of fun with the three gaffers we hired, including a friendly race on Barton Broad on the Monday morning. EW, as ever, were helpful; the boats ready for us on the Saturday, clean and in good condition, and the staff stayed to see us back on Monday evening.”

“We travelled 18,000 kms for another holiday with Eastwood-Whelpton straight off the plane from New Zealand.”
“Huge thanks to Annie and Andy and the EW team for the boat prep., dealing with our food order, and pick ups and drop offs at the station. I can’t recommend EW highly enough, and we’ll be back for another holiday just as soon as the opportunity presents.”

“A big thank you to all the staff. We enjoyed a day trip on the Moorhen for our mums special birthday. The staff were helpful from the booking process to the actual day. They could not do enough to make sure we had a fantastic day. They catered for mum’s dietary needs with afternoon tea as well as having an amazing skipper on the day to make the trip very memorable.”
