Today’s assignment was at Derby Quay in Beccles on the South Broads Surveying this Aquafibre 38 Motor Cruiser. Aquafibre is probably one of the most common known hull makers on the Broads. Aquafibre were part of Brooms & Sons and were prolific manufacturer of boat shells - these were outfitted by a variety of boatyards, including Brooms of Brundall and Bristercraft at Wroxham. Unfortunately Aquafibre ceased trading in 2009, marking the end of an era in Norfolk boat building.
This one was unusual, and had been refitted as a live aboard offering comfortable accommodation for 6. Lots of equipment made this a superb holiday boat. |
