Hi Coolcat

We sold our Broom Skipper (30ft) last September after 12 years of boating on the Broads.

Brooms are great boats - well built by craftsmen who took a pride in their work. Still true today if you visit their yard and talk to the guys there.

The 32 has the big advantage of the flybridge which is great when the weather is good. It's down side is the different levels within the boat so you need to be pretty nimble to get around.

Another thing to consider is the air draft. Wroxham Bridge, Potter Heigham and Beccles old road bridge are definite no no's and even Ludham Bridge may not be an option when tides are high. Yarmouth will also need careful thought.

Hi Yorkie,

It's 8ft Air draft with the screens down so I know some places will be off limits but to be honest even our Viking 20 we have now is the same.

The split level decks and accommodation are what draws us to the boat and are part of its charm we think.
We are looking for something that can double as a live a board as well and I think it will serve us well.
It's in very good condition and has benefitted from new batteries, Invertor and other bits.
What we would be doing is updating the interior carpets, curtains and soft furnishings.

Also fitting a new galley and modernising the heads.

We are hoping that if we decide to buy, it will become like a second home for us and bring us many years of happy boating on the broads

Hi Coolcat

It sounds as though you have made up your mind on this one. Hope all goes well and you enjoy many years of boating on the Broads. Do you follow the Norfolk Broads forum?

There is a mine of knowledge and help available on there.
