From time to time, the waterways need to be cleaned out a bit, so what do you do? Call in a (brave, perhaps) operator in an excavator on a floating platform...of course. He it is in the dyke leading to the first boatshed built at Hunter's Yard, in 1932 The skills used at Hunter's Yard are both timeless and endangered, those of building and preserving hand-buit wooden boats of yesteryear. Many of the boats looked after by the yard are nearly a century old, but they still sail as if they were launched last week. 🔍 Did you know? The Hunter's Yard fleet comprises 14 classic cabin yachts, and various gaff-rigged 'half-deckers, each with its own story and charm. These vessels are not just for show - they're available for educational use, RYA sail training courses, and public hire! Hunter's Yard is run by the Norfolk Fleet Heritage Trust, a registered charity dedicated to public education, sail training & the preservation, conservation & maintenance of a unique, historic fleet of traditional Broads sailing craft, the boat sheds in which they were built & associated heritage craft skills Want to experience the Norfolk Broads on one of these historic beauties?
