Ezra at Hunter's Yard, Ludham, the home of The Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust, using traditional methods to caulk a seam on a wooden Norfolk Broads yacht from the 1930's. The Trust is a charity dedicated to public education, sail training & the preservation, conservation & maintenance of a unique, historic fleet of traditional Broads sailing craft, the boatsheds in which they were built & associated and endagered heritage craft skills Hunter's Yard lies at the heart of the Norfolk Broads and is the home of our Fleet of 14 traditional cabin yachts lovingly known as 'Percy's Lovely Ladies'. We also have 8 half deckers (day boats), which includes 3 Rebels (racing boats) part of only a few available on the Norfolk Broads for hire. Our 'Lovely Ladies' were designed specifically to be sympathetic to these beautiful, unique waterways and are available for hire for short breaks to full weeks. All our vintage cabin yachts and half deckers deliver a great sailing experience from our smaller 2 berth (Hustler Class), 3 berth (Wood Class) or our larger 4 berth (Lullaby Class) yachts. Some yachts in our Fleet are now equipped with an electric engine. Hunter's Yard have pioneered the introduction of electric pod type engines to the fleet to assist with mooring and when going through bridges. Some yachts in the fleet remain engineless so you would need to be an experienced skipper to take one out. Very good dinghy sailors do find our cabin yachts easy and a joy to handle. The self tacking jib is found to be a great help for our solo skippers who often take our Hustler class out. @huntersyard1
