Today’s assignment was at Richardson’s at Stalham, just 14 miles from both Norwich and Great Yarmouth, this site covers some 20 acres and is the largest Norfolk Broads boat base.
They often have ex-hire boats for sale, or sometimes like in this case if you’re after something particular they may pull one out of the fleet for you to buy.
This Connoisseur 1070FB was created for Connoisseur’s European bases. Sometimes known of as Merchant - a name Le Boat/Connoisseur used for the class for the last few years they hired them.
Around eight were produced and four were bought by Richardsons and brought back to Norfolk, early 2011 to become “Astral Gems”.
The class features the same forward arrangement as the 900FB but has a double and bunk cabin aft. They were built with a second toilet though those that have been brought back now feature one shower room & one toilet.
