What a treat. Almost reticent to review as more people will make use of it! Staff were super engaging and friendly. Boat was in excellent condition. Briefing was comprehensive and happy to answer lots of questions. Simple location to launch from. Nice clean facilities on site. Hopefully we can come back again and have another adventure.

Amazing midweek break on Hustler4, beautifully balanced, predictably boat. Well equipped. Perfect compromise for Broads cruising. The new electric drive provides element of assurance in a windless spot and in arriving/departing moorings should encourage many for whom quanting not a familiar skill. The Hustler is ideal length and windward ability means it will readily tack up narrow channels and is highly maneoverable. I would encourage any confident small boat sailor to try it. USB port a little godsend for keeping the smartphone alive. Traditional simple reefing means no need to sit out a day with lively breeze. Just power down and enjoy. Brilliant. Hunters Yard do a great job keeping the little beauties shipshape -traditional yet class act.

The Hunter's fleet is pretty unique on the Broads. I've been sailing Hustlers and Woods on and off for 37 years and they feel like a home from home. I love the purist nature of sailing these Broads cruisers. I lamented the removal of oil lamps and addition of electric inboards, but understand the Yard's fear of one of their "old ladies" burning into the river. I witnessed the use of the electric motor on another boat, while I was quantity my purist one against heavy wind and tide. I think I could be swayed on that too!! The team of builders and repairers at the Yard are simply amazing skilled magicians at maintaining the fleet and fixing damage. Testament to the years of Percy, Cyril, County Sailing Base, Hunter's Yard and all who have worked there over the years that some of the fleet are fast approaching being centurions and look as good as new! Thank you to you all!
