Timber Broads Cruiser

I was at Weyford Bridge Marina today near Stalham on the Northern Broads. This was a pre-purchase Survey on a Broads Cruiser.
Arnott Fowler the designer was apparently one of the influential Broadland designers with a variety of wooden craft attributed to his name.

Morston Quay Survey

I was Surveying a Leisure 22 yacht today on the North Norfolk Coast about an hour from home. A very quiet little village Morston. Lovely spot though....

The Leisure 22 was designed and built to meet for a 4/6-berth family cruiser without sacrificing the versatility and performance required by the yachtsman. Both twin (bilge) keel and fin keel versions were available. The design features a high ballast ratio of 43% for stability with very good sized accommodation for a yacht of this length. The Leisure 22 was designed by Graham Caddick.

Always a very quiet little boat yard in the winter.... you can get a boat trip to see the seals in the summer
