Fair Breeze

Traditional Norfolk Broads sailing cruiser

Fair Breeze is a little bit of history, a 1950s wooden sailing cruiser that has survived the ravages of time and is still very much afloat.

For much of her history she's been in the hire fleets, and that was where we first encountered her - we hired her for a holiday in 1993. When we investigated taking her out again in 2001 we found she had just been put up for sale by the yard. It was too good an opportunity to miss.

Properly, the boat is owned by my Beloved Other Half, just as technically the Spitfire is wholly my property (but who's keeping count?). She's the expert on Fair Breeze's construction and history - I just specialise in falling off stylishly...
