I was back on the Northern Broads today at Weyford Bridge carrying out an Insurance Survey and Valuation on this Apollo 32 Motor Cruiser. She is undergoing Osmosis Treatment at the moment. She was 'peeled' about a year ago when I took some moisture meter readings.. she has now dried sufficiently and is ready for re-laminating.
The Apollo 32 is Dutch built, quite unusual and built by Klaus Baess in Copenhagen. It is very similar to the Jupiter 30, which was designed by Knud Olsen. These two guys used to make the Jupiter range up to 1971, until Klaus went on his own and made the Apollo 32. He also made many of the sailing boats that won the Olympics in 1984. I shouldnt think there are to many of these on the Norfolk Broads... a good strong well built sea boat.

You mean Danish built and not Dutch ;)

There was an advertising photo floating around in early 70's of the Appolo crossing the English Channel in a Force 10 gale - but haven't found and image yet on the web - reading anything about these great cruisers is welcome.
