I was back at Norfolk Yacht Agency today in Horning Surveying this Bourne 35 for a pre-purchase. She was designed by R.M. 'Rip' Martins
in the early 1960's and built by a Nottingham firm called Bourne
Plastics.
Aquafibre also moulded the 35ft hull, originally designed by Rip Martins which became the basis of the Aquafibre 35, and a number of old Bourne 35s have been renovated by replacing the wooden superstructure with a modern Aquafibre 35 design.
Surveyors comments: I have Surveyed dozens of this ‘marc’ over the years. They are very popular for owners wanting that classic Broads Boat look. Check the hull (underbody) for any serious osmotic defects. This one had alreday been been treated. The hulls are thick so there’s never normally a structural issue, but big blisters could de-value the boat and make her difficult to sell. Apart from the wooden superstructure on some models, they normally survey very well. An attractive Classic Broads Cruiser which hold their value.
