The Broads The Norfolk Broads are a network of mostly navigable waterways which were created by the tidal flooding of medieval peat workings. The outcome is a wonderful environment filled with natural beauty which is now enjoyed year after year by returning and new visitors alike. Amongst the many attractions of the Norfolk Broads is the wildlife. You may spot a Heron patiently waiting to spy a fish to catch, or glimpse the bright blue flash of a Kingfisher. You may hear the boom of the Bittern, even see one if you re really in luck! And, the Norfolk Broads is also the only place in the UK where you could spot the magnificent Swallowtail Butterfly... just like the boats of Hunter s Fleet! You may choose to visit Horsey Windpump and admire the views over the mere. Then take a walk to Horsey Beach and see the seal colony there. Gently quant under Potter Heigham Bridge, one of two Medieval Bridges remaining on the Broads, built in 1385. If you visit How Hill, the secret gardens are there to be explored, you can pop along to Toad Hole Cottage and the Tiny Eel Catcher s Cottage there too. As well as admiring the impressive How Hill House itself. There are so many things to be seen and enjoyed here on the Norfolk Broads, Thurne Mill amongst others, St Benet s Abbey - the remains of a Benedictine Monastery... and of course, many traditional pubs to eat and drink at. Your Norfolk Broads adventure awaits! 4 To find out more call 01692 678263 or email info@huntersyard.com
History of Hunter s Yard Percy Hunter, with his sons Cyril and Stanley, built the first shed here at Womack Water in 1932. Within a year they had designed, built, and launced the first two cabin yachts of the Fleet. The Fleet grew each year and a second shed was built in 1935 to help house the 14 yachts in the winter months. The last 2 cabin yachts were completed after the war in the late 1940s. Percy Hunter The Hunter family operated the Yard until 1968 when it was sold to the Norfolk County Council and was renamed Norfolk County Sailing Base. The traditions of the Yard were maintained, but the main aim became encouraging young people to sail and experience the team spirit involved. In 1995 the council decided to sell the Fleet and the Yard as part of an economy measure. After much outcry, a group of influential people formed a Trust with the aim of acquiring the Yard and the Fleet and maintaining the high standards of boatbuilding it represented. A huge fundraising effort was carried out and donations flooded in, amounting to over 100,000. This was boosted with a magnificent grant of 200,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. In 1996 the Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust took over the Yard and re-established it s original name, Hunter s Yard. It continues to uphold the skills and traditions of the Yard and encourages youth sailing through the endowment fund, which provides resources to subsidise youth sailing on the Fleet. The history of Hunter s is very much part of the Yard and its fleet. The traditions of quality workmanship and excellent customer care remain as strong today as ever and we are proud to say that we still have people sailing our boats who have done so since the 1930s. visit www.huntersyard.co.uk 5

Winter Maintenance The winter maintenance programme is a very important part of keeping Percy s Lovely Ladies not only looking their best but performing their best. When you re dealing with 21 boats, most of them over 80 years old, all made of wood, it means these old gals take quite a bit of TLC to get them ready for their next season. Not only that, the guys here insist on them all starting as close to perfect as they can be (for old ladies that is!). Once in the sheds the work really begins. This involves detailed assessment of repairs needed to each boat, scraping back and rubbing down, carrying out a wide range of repairs, antifouling, varnishing - the list goes on. The sheds are full of the sounds of machinery with tools working away and the smell of wood and varnish; finishing off with the wonderful sight of gleaming mahogany boats. Our attitude is that prevention is better than cure so we maintain a rolling programme of properly repairing or replacing items before they become major problems. To manage all this we have to run a shorter season than other boatyards; with our yachts and half deckers coming into the sheds by the third week in October at the latest. This practice has been observed since Hunters first began letting yachts and goes some way towards explaining the very good condition the boats are in. They all have their usual find and fix routine done to them along with the masts and spars, crutches, fittings, dinghies and yards of rigging which have also been painstakingly but lovingly prepared for the next season. How do we manage all this every year? The answer lies in the hands of our highly skilled, traditional boat building craftsmen here at the Yard. Our dedicated team work solidly throughout the winter to produce the best results for the start of the next season. Visitors are welcome. 20 To find out more call 01692 678263 or email info@huntersyard.com
Private Work Hunter s Yard now offers its boatbuilding team to carry out minor maintenance, anti-fouling, varnish work, quant making, minor accident damage repairs and the like, to small wooden craft during the summer season. We can carry out repairs in the water, on a trailer or in the shed (dimensions of the boat permitting). We re available for this type of work from the end of April until September. Please note, any work undertaken must be able to be completed by the end of September.
