Eastwood Whelpton are an extremely friendly and professional team and this year also offering a very careful Covid-aware service, along with their traditional warm welcome. Annie and Andy are such sailing enthusiasts, their energy is revitalising. Lovely new loos at yard, probably the best on the Broads and definitely worth a visit. 'South Seas' is a gaff rigged, beautifully crafted boat designed for the Broads. Just boarding begins to replenish the soul and a week aboard is life enhancing. We are amateur sailors with a more experienced young skipper. Engine very useful. Fridge is fantastic and very neat and serviceable oven/hob. Bunks very comfy. Added extras very welcoming. Exhilarating sailing on Barton and Hickling Broads, and the peace and precision of goose winging up meadow dyke utterly sublime. Other things to do: row to Ranworth from the island moorings; mud weight overnight at Horsey; eat yummy donuts at Potter Heigham, ice creams at Ludham Bridge (served to the mooring by the very kind shop owner) and great pizza at the White Horse Inn Neatishead; book for next year.

Excellent boats, beautiful, well equipped and scrupulously clean. Lots of local knowledge about the state of the waterways and best places to moor up. They have a choice of traditional boats and easier to sail modern ones. I can't wait to sail with them again.

Just enjoyed a 'Taster' on Trade Wind and upgrading from a dinghy sailor to yachting I cannot recommend the experience enough. We had an amazing sail, the manoeuvrability and on board facilities surprised our previous dinghy sailing experience. The Staff were so welcoming and encouraging. So much effort has been made to ensure the yachts fulfill the current criteria. Thank you. We look forward to a lengthier sail next time.
