Today I was lucky enough to Survey ‘Isabel’ a Star Glory Class Cruiser built by Jack Powles of Wroxham in 1963. Mr. Rolf her owner has painstakingly restored her over the last 2 years and she is now back to her former glory.

| The four berth Star Glory class were 29 feet in length and the Blakes brochure of 1967 lists her as having a Perkins 4107 diesel engine, and ice box and an electric flushing toilet. The cost for a week’s hire during the peak summer holiday period was £15 18 shillings! and, interestingly, she was a Thursday to Thursday hire only. |
