This is an excellent example of the perfect Wivenhoe Wife. Previously spotted around the Saffron Walden area, she fell under the spell of the North London lad who moved up Essex way. Or was it the North London lad who fell under her spell? Whatever. She was built in 1959 and is in concours condition, only needing a minor servicing every once in a while. It's amazing how she manages to keep going at her age, but she runs very smoothly with only minor backfiring occasionally.
Welcome to my blog about an old boat that used to cruise the Norfolk Broads in the '70's. I was given it to renovate and bring to Wivenhoe in the early noughties, and since then it's morphed into a few guises: a pirate radio station, a home to a gorilla, an open garden, a Writer's Retreat, a party venue, a vinyl haven, and even a golf course. Most importantly it's always been a peaceful sanctuary for a few pansies and other flowers. Welcome to my Boat For My Potplants...
WOMAN, 1959, in excellent shape
