I-Spy book of boats

[Wiggo]

Anyone recognise this boat? 1971, on the Norfolk Broads. The shorter of the two in the photo is me, FWIW...

I wasn't gonna be so horrid - I'm afriad he has changed quite a lot from the photogenic little angel proudly helping dad (?) skipper the boat.

What is it about the Norfolk Broads ?

In my photos of a similar era, my father and I also had matching jumpers ?!?

Good days, except you always had to give the boat back at the end of the week....

Mum had one, too. She knitted them as a job lot. Anyway, I'm still at least as cute as that.

And this is one generation on, with Karl also aged 8, proudly helping dad (?) helm to Falmouth in 10' seas...

But does anyone recognise the boat on the Broads???

The Bloke on the right looks a bit like Hadyn, anything you want to tell us?

Not much to go here Wiggo! The boat itself looks older than 1971, and I'll stab a pure guess at a "Freeman" ....something. Only 'cos they made loads of boats for the broads.

Boat looks like one of the little day hire craft often seen on the broards in those days. I have a feeling that some were electric.
