| WHERRY YACHT NORADA |
|
|
|
Current Status: De-commissioned awaiting out of the water survey following hull restoration.
Norada was built as a solution to the problems Olive had with bridges. Norada was small and spritely, named after another famous sailing vessel, and could get under both bridges at Ludham and Potter Heigham.
Unfortunately, after having gone to so much trouble to build a Wherry Yacht capable of passing under Ludham Bridge, Ernest Collins saw the bridge destroyed and washed away in the floods of August 1912, and rebuilt with more headroom.
Norada's engine means you can cover more ground in a day and will not be so dependent on the wind. Like Olive, she has plenty of space to sit on the counter-stern. Norada is ideal for young families or those with little sailing experience.
