WYCCT needs your help to care for three of the last eight traditional Wherries on the Norfolk Broads.
Pleasure Wherry Hathor and Wherry Yachts Olive and Norada are all currently undergoing or awaiting repair. When work is completed they will be available for everyone to enjoy, on public sailings, private charters and educational visits, but to achieve this we need your help.
Please make a donation, or become a Friend to give us ongoing support. Find out more.

Our current guest in the fleet, White Moth, is seen here on South Walsham Broad last year. Being able to offer her for charter for the next three years will significantly improve our finances and help us complete the restoration of Norada, Olive and Hathor. (Our thanks to Sue Hines for the photo - you can see more of her pictures of wherries on Flickr.)

At last we can share some exciting news: this summer we welcome wherry yacht White Moth as a guest in our fleet. Previously operated by the Norfolk Broads Yachting Company, White Moth recently changed hands and has been offered to us for chartering purposes over the next three years by her new owner. All existing bookings for this season will be honoured, and we welcome new enquiries. Full chartering details can be seen on our bookings page, and we also have a press release with more information about the move.
White Moth's availability is excellent news because it gives us the chance to earn income, to be put towards our restoration work. With Norada also scheduled for sailing this year, and Olive's restoration coming next thanks to funding support from the Rural Development Programme for England, we are also in the happy position of looking forward to reuniting all three remaining wherry yachts on the water. We do still have fundraising work to do, but this is a significant boost to our efforts.
