Current status of our fleet (June 2007):
 
Olive
 
Built in 1909 by Ernest Collins of Wroxham and used for hire with skipper and steward until 1958. After 3 more owners she was bought by Peter Bower in 1974, and after restoration used for educational and private charters until 2005 when she sank at her mooring. Current Status: Awaiting repair and restoration including new internal fittings (cooker, fridge etc).
 
Hathor
 
Built in 1905 by Daniel Hall of Reedham and used by the Colman and Boardman families. She was bought by Wherry Yacht Charter in 1985 and after a 2 year restoration she joined Olive and Norada in charter work. Current Status: She is still in sailing order, being used primarily for promotional tours but needs an extensive internal refit to enable her to be used for charter work.
 
Norada
 
Built in 1912 by Ernest Collins of Wroxham and used for hire with skipper and steward until 1950. Bought by Barney Matthews in 1964 and after restoration she joined Olive in 1984 for charter work. Current Status: De-commissioned awaiting out of the water survey following hull restoration.
