Sailing Blog from UK - Norfolk Brads in March 2010

...My vessel for this trip, Spitfire, is a 44ft (13.5m) Alphacraft Highliner with two steering positions, one in the cabin and the other a sort of fly-bridge on the cabin roof.

She has a beam of 12ft (3.6m) and an air-draft of 8ft 3in (2.5m)...

We are then approaching Cantley, a riverside village with a very noticible landmark, the silos of the Cantley Sugar Beet Factory are visible for miles.

At the upstream limit of the village, partly obscured by the raised banks of the flood defences is another riverside pub, The Reedcutters. There is a section of BA (Broads Authority) moorings available just above the pub. (another possible stop for the return leg).....
