This boat is in need of a little sprucing up:D

That looks like it was once a hire boat doesn't it Jeff. Despite several sailing holidays I don't recognise the name though: Be**ick?

Hi Simon,

It's a traditional Broads sailing boat. Not sure which yard she came from and whether she was a hire craft or private, could of been either.
She has been on the hard at our Marina for some while. A project boat that has not yet been started. Hopefully one day she will be restored back to her former glory.
Next time I'm back at my boat I'll check to see if she still has her Broads Boat registration number displayed. If so, I'll find out more info on her, Including her name😊

Putting the history of the yacht to one one side for the moment, that’s an excellent photo with light and shadow picking up the details, quite restful.
