History is in the house! ⚓
Our boat restoration and maintenance team are currently hard at work providing some dedicated TLC to a truly legendary vessel: The Albert.
This Broom 45 holds a prestigious place in Norfolk history. Built in 1965 for a director of the iconic Norwich confectioner John Mackintosh & Co, she was designed by the legendary Arnott Fowler.
But her most illustrious moment? In November 1976, The Albert was chosen to ferry HM The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh from Horning Staithe for the opening of the Ranworth conservation centre! 👑
It is an absolute privilege to have such a storied piece of Broom heritage back with us, ensuring she remains in peak condition for many more years of cruising.
