Well... its back to work and back in the real world after a glorious weekend on the boat basking in the sunshine. Its been perfect boating weather the last few weeks and works eased a little as everyone enjoys being out on the water.
Today's assignment was at Horning with Norfolk Yacht Agency Surveying this Westwood ST29 Motor Cruiser. Built on the Aquafibre hull, almost identical to the Broom 29 (Ocean). Different boatyards / companies often use the same hulls. This Andrew Wolstenhome design is very sort after and they hold good value. Westwood Marine are based in Doncaster as far as I know and she is a medium powered displacement cruiser designed mainly as a river boat but with the right engine has the capacity for estuary cruising. Produced in hard top or soft top format, she is ideal for the Broads as well as other river systems with a restricted air draught.

| The compact accommodation provides a double cabin forward as well as an occasional single berth in the saloon sofa. The roomy aft cockpit doubles up as living space with the provision of a good quality canopy. |
 |
| The standard single engine for the 29 ST is a 35HP 4.150HE Nanni diesel, although larger engines up to 62HP are also possible. This example was a Cat C boat and had the 50HP 4.220HE diesel. |
