Maud spent some time at Hardley Mill for the summer solstice.     She is one smart looking Wherry.

[vanessan]

Maud is going to be at Hardely Mill for much of the summer apparently. Does rather cut down on the available mooring there!

[JennyMorgan]

Any boats moored there cuts down on the available moorings there!! I rather like the thought of Maud being alongside the mill, after all she was initially rebuilt by a millwright. 

[vanessan]

I don't disagree with that sentiment, it was just an observation as Maud does take up a fair bit of room! Looking at the mill with Maud moored at the pontoon is a very pleasant sight, especially if there are no other boats moored. 

[JennyMorgan]

Maud & Hardley Mill, probably the most iconic image in Broadland right now! 

Re moorings, just moor alongside her .

Just now, vanessan said:

Sorry, that clip doesn't appear to work. I have tried to remove it but unsuccessfully! Could the mods help please?

Done

[Bound2Please]

Just done the request as well

[vanessan]

Thank you both.

Now that's what I call team work Charlie

And of course I think it was the same millwright who did Harley who restored Maud  - the late Vincent Pargeter which explains the link.

After being at Hardley, Maud will be lifted out at Goodchilds for survey and some remedial work, but I can think of a more iconic wherry....!!!!

Quick, moor Albion outside a convenient mill.

[marshman]

Would  but she is far too busy to sit still, she has to earn her keep!! Fortunately!!

[Poppy]

Of course, Marshy has connections to one - but not the other.

BOTH are worthy of support, given their different construction tchniques.

[Labrador]

Surely Maud is iconic, as she represents a typical trading wherry, in that the majority were of clinker construction rather than Albions carvel construction.

And, of course, Maud is a Norfolk built wherry. .

Albion lead the way in Wherry restoration, we mustn't forget that.

Poppy - I also have close connections to Maud too as they moor in our shed!!!!
