Had a holiday on this lovely boat - Wild Nymph from F B Wilds in Horning although it was greeting rather tired. The canopy leaked really badly I remember

I can't see anyone mentioning R&C Bondon at South Walsham.

Whilst I didnt' hire from them, Ray build my fathers' boat (an Elysian - Norfolk Spitfire - still on the Broads) in about 1971.

I hired a Hampton (can't remember its name) solo from Royalls in the early 1980s
