There was another boatshed in Horning that was a possible original model for
Jonnatt's. This one was redeveloped for housing in the 1970s. The closure of so
many boatyards on the Broads makes life more difficult for skippers of unpowered
sailing yachts - there are fewerplaces where one temporarily tie up and then quant
over to a safe mooring.
The lovely wherry yacht in Jon's picture is White Moth owned by John Berry of
Berry Bros. & Rudd who for many years sponsored the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Races.
We passed her while sailing in Hustler 2 from Hunters Yard in April 2011. She
looked a little more run down than she appears in your photo with the seams showing
between some of her planks and a plank missing from her graceful counter stern.
