I hired Lydia from Southgates last September and at the time they were saying that the old shed was going to be demolished and replaced with a smaller one. They said they'd be reducing the fleet to fit the new shed. It looks like the whole fleet has gone elsewhere now though, all the yachts to Martham and the White Moth to a wherry trust.

A great shame. I hope they reopen with a new shed and get some of the fleet back. Horning was a perfect base for Lydia and the guys at Southgates were fantastic. On my second day the parrels broke on the gaff jaws and I limped back into Horning with the whole rig merrily bouncing around the deck. No fuss, they just rigged new parrels on the spot. In and out in less than half an hour.
