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 over 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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
