I surveyed
another one of these stylish looking Falcon Cruisers today down at Norfolk Yacht
Agency in Horning. Its basically a mirror image of the Sheerline Capriole.
Falcon Sportsboats started building boats in the early 1980s based in Brimbelow
Road, Hoveton (Wroxham), moving to Griffin Lane Thorpe around 1991, where they
continued to produce craft through the 1990s. A number of the designs are now
produced by other builders, including Sheerline and Quayline.
The Falcon 1020 is one of the last in the Falcon Cruisers line, a custom-built six berth cruiser. The three cabins - owner's stateroom,
saloon/dinette providing double berth with galley and guest cabin aft. An electrically-powered retracting windscreen and removable canopy means that she
has a low air draft for navigating the inland water ways. A spacious aft
cockpit with helm and double helm seat has ample space. The forward stateroom
features a central double berth with storage beneath and wardrobes to port and
starboard. The aft cabin offers a twin or double berth layout.
Surveyors comments: These boats are
well built and are always in short supply. I would have thought a good
investment at this age, and easy to sell on if upgrading. Ideal for the Thames.
