LondonGuy Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I have a photo of my Mum and Dad on a boat, on the broads in the 1950's. The boat is "Broadland Teal" Ripplecraft - Summerlayton (W411) Doing a bit of research, I believe this was built in Christopher Cockerels boatyard. Would they have picked up the boat from his boatyard? Can we tell where it was hired from? Is there still a boatyard there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingman Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Christopher Cockerel owned Ripplecraft at Somerleyton and it is highly likely your parents started from there It is still a boatyard but no longer hires craft Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
