Wherries are the iconic sailing craft of the Norfolk Broads and a pair of local charities are offering the rare chance to take a trip on them.
Their towering masts and billowing sails have glided along the waterways for centuries, first as workhorse “freighters” and then elegant pleasure boats.
In early September this year, the How Hill Trust and Wherry Yacht Charter are running a residential course with three full days of sailing on Hathor and Norada, which were both built in the early 1900s.
Those on the course will stay at How Hill House in Ludham.
Simon Partridge, How Hill Trust director, said: “This is a rare chance to sail two Norfolk wherries – something you just don’t get the opportunity to do unless you are one of the crew volunteers."
The cost is £620 or £990 for two sharing, which helps raise funds for the charities to run and maintain the historic craft and the centre.
