Many of you will know the boats of the Norfolk Broads Yachting Company, also known as Southgates, and their boatyard at Horning. They have some superb classic Broads sailing boats - we hired 'America' from them last summer. The yard, situated on the main street through Horning, always seems to me be like Jonnatt's in Big Six.

However, I have just heard that all the boats have been transferred to Martham Boats to augment their existing fleet, so at least they are in good hands. But this means the boatyard itself may be at risk - the position by the river in the middle of one of the classic broads villages, means it could be sold for development. Does anyone know more about its future?

Here's a picture of the yard (hopefully!)
