Remarks:
Considered to be one of Ernest Woods’ finest half deckers, and probably one of the largest on the Broads, “Black Bess” was privately commissioned as a one off. She has the lines of a stretched White Boat, and her three hull drawings and a sail plan are currently housed in the archives at the Museum of the Broads in Stalham (available for viewing on request). She was this year’s winner at the Hickling Regatta (2015), and her owner informs us that she is a very quick boat and perfectly balanced for both racing and pleasure cruising. Understood to be in excellent and very original condition for her age, she is a real survivor, with great charm and character.
