Broom 970 for survey at Horning


The aft cabin normally has a double bunk against one side, and incorporates an en-suite shower and toilet. Although this version had been converted into a double berth. The forward cabin was fitted with V-berths as standard although this could be replaced with a second double if preferred. Adjacent to the galley, a forward toilet served for day use and for guests. The design retains the twin helm positions, and as with the 10/70 there is no sliding door access to the saloon.







To ensure that the LPG system is leak-free it is tightness test using a manometer gauge for an Insurance Survey using the BS 5482-3 guidelines. 

The standard specification provided for was twin 62HP Volvo MD31s although a more typical configuration for river and coastal use was like this example with a pair of 110HP Volvo TAMD30As.
Surveyors comments: Good solid sea boats that always Survey well. Broom was founded in 1898 by Charles J Broom at first building individual sailing vessels for the local gentry to sail on the wide open spaces of the Norfolk Broads. Over the course of the next 100 years Broom have gone from strength to strength offering innovation and quality hand craftsmanship.

In July 2010 Broom was sold to its current owner, Managing Director Mark Garner, a well known local businessman; the company then set about modernising production and design bringing a modern contemporary feel to both, the successful existing models whilst also moving back into the Coupe market. The ongoing redevelopment plans continue with a revised model due to be launched each year for the foreseeable future.
