Broom Commander

You may remember an earlier post in my BLOG about this classic wooden craft from the 1950s. 'White Heron' has been undergoing planking works to the hull at Brooms Boats. I had a return visit yesterday to see how things were going. Its nearly time for her to go back into the water now. She has been in the Broom family from new.  Her new owners may well take her down to the Thames.

The interior has been little changed since she was built, so retains the original character & quality of build. 

Iroko is a very durable wood; it does not require regular treatment with oil or varnish when used on the topsides. It is almost as durable as teak, although it does not have the same stability.

Broom Commander

I Surveyed this beauty today at Brundall on the South Broads. A highly sought after classic wooden craft from the 1950s.  'White Heron' has been in the Broom family from new. A smaller version of 'Supreme Commander'. The two in Broom's early hire fleet did not have a stern well, however this example does. They built one twin engine version too...which is very rare....
