Well I’d finished my book and was twiddling my thumbs after being stuck downriver from Beccles due to the wind and high water (I hate mooring single handed, let alone in high winds). I was getting quite concerned having moored under very large willow trees in such strong gusts of wind. However, having had multiple back operations there was no way I was going to attempt mooring again and end up being carried along in the water holding on for dear life as the wind blew myself, dog and boat away. I became very concerned when something heavy fell onto the boat. It turned out to be a large willow branch. Well, waste not want not..........

JanetAnne, Trambo & Everyone, Great info, thank you so much. I suspect I may have something a little unique then! All of the superstructure is wood and I suspect, original. Inside, you’d think that you were in a wooden boat which is something I love but I didn’t want the work and worry of a timber hull! Although the front cabin is two V berths, I immediately thought that she may have been a forerunner of Hamptons as she has a similar feel etc. I’ve now got to get the outside varnished desperately in order to save her from deteriorating and reflect the nice interior. waffle over! Thanks again, everyone :)

Hi Guys, thank you for the nice welcome and info so far :)

Hi, I’ve been on the Norfolk Broads for years. Due to a back condition, I’ve had to change my boat. It was sold to me as a ‘Classic 27’. However, I’d love to know the actual make/model/builder or any information about her. GRP hull, wood superstructure. Many thanks!
