This model is based on a range of boats built in the 1970 on the southern Norfolk broads as semi custom craft. This type of craft were based on a standard hull and major structural components such as main frames and bulkheads but were altered by the building yard to the designs of the customer making every boat individual to a certain extent.
Powered by single or twin diesel for inland or offshore passage.
Our model is based on a single screw set up for use on the Norfolk Broad and inshore coastal cruising, so is powered by a 6volt Kestral motor 6 volt 3800 Nimh battery with a single shaft
Most alterations tended to be internal i, e, number of cabins, location of galley, external choices often made are the removal of the rear cabin and substitute for a sun deck aft and seating area, removal for the flying bridge for lower air draft, as in this version for the low bridge on the Broads, forward cabin roof altered to make a sun bed.
Other version use a installed small hydraulic lifting crane, or some have davits installed across the stern for a dinghy and a boarding ladder.
Lots of version abound. We have modelled this kit on a full size craft but have given it a fictitious.
