I had the pleasure of Surveying this Classic River Cruiser today.
‘Glitterwake’ is a real survivor, and has great charm and character. She was built by the famous Jack Powles of Wroxam on the Norfolk Broads in 1937. She is a registered small ship no: 164175, built of mahogany on oak. She had a major rebuild in 1991 in Oulton Broad. The new owner Mr. Lodge who is a competent boat builder has spent the last two years working on her at Wayford Bridge and has replaced the deck as well as approximately 250 feet of new mahogany planking. She’s now in immaculate condition and up for sale at the end of the season. The new owner could be involved in the last few months of the refit, and having a say in the last few fittings, furniture, carpets and curtains etc.
Power is a BMC 2.5 Commander 50HP diesel.
