For Visitors
Welcome to the official web site of the River Cruiser Class, the organisation for owners of traditional cabin yachts, indigenous to the Norfolk Broads. The class consists of nearly 400 inland waterways sailing yachts, designed specifically and exclusively for cruising and racing the tidal system of lakes and rivers of Norfolk and North Suffolk. Of these river cruisers, more than 25 are over 100 years old, and over 150 were built before 1940. The Class is not however confined to a vintage and veteran boat collection. A large proportion of member craft were built in the past 20 years, and new class yachts are being launched each year.
- The site has two functions:
- It serves to co-ordinate and inform the River Cruiser Class membership.
- It is a reference portal for the 200 year history of Broads yachting, together with the unique racing craft and leisure industry to which it has given birth.
Because space on any web site must be limited, a fuller history of this subject may be found in the Class Archive, and researchers may order their own copy of this via
.
A small CD/ DVD duplication and support charge will be made.
If you have any comments or suggestions on the site feel free to email the

No. 10 of 2007 - Advice to Broads Boat Users
Due to the on-going works being carried out by BESL (Broadland Environmental Services Limited) on behalf of the Environment Agency, and in conjunction with exceptionally high water levels, the following advice is given to all boat users:
o Keep well away from the edge of riverbanks - piling that is normally visible can be covered during project works and certain weather and water levels conditions
o If in any doubt, sailing craft should tack short to avoid any potential hazards
o Take note of any port and starboard marks and keep seaward of any temporary red warning markers denoting a potential hazard or obstruction
o Be wary and keep clear of any work vessels, rigs, cranes, digger arms, barges and ground anchors
o Check any area thoroughly before you attempt to moor and do not be tempted to moor where instructed not to do so.
o Boats must give way to towed or heavily loaded vessels or vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre - only overtake when advised by the skipper of the vessel
o Report any new hazards or obstructions to the Broads Authority River Control on 01692 678459
This advice applies until further notice.

Yare Navigation Race 2009 arrangements
Although the Coldham Hall pub is still closed there will be a marquee serving food and drink on the Friday and Saturday.
The new landlord David Linder is keen to support the event and had initially hoped to have the pub open but it needs so much work that it will be closed until next February. When it does reopen it should be something special and very well run (they also manage the Garden House pub in the city which has an excellent reputation).
Moorings will be available at CHSC from Sept 6 (ie straight after the Cecil Howard Memorial Race which finishes at Coldham Hall) so that cruisers can participate in both races if they wish without having to move in the period between them.
The closing date for YNR entries is August 16. We have already started praying for wind.
Due to misuse (by strangers), the Cruiser class Forum has been discontinued.
