Description
The Broom Admiral 'Katinka', built in 1961, is a classic example of mid-century British boat craftsmanship, offering both elegance and reliability on the water. Constructed by the renowned Broom Boats yard in Norfolk, 'Katinka' features a traditional wooden hull with graceful lines and a sturdy build, reflecting the hallmark style of post-war river cruisers. Designed primarily for inland and coastal cruising, the Admiral class offered comfort and space, and 'Katinka' is no exception—with a well-appointed interior layout that balances charm and functionality, including a cosy saloon, compact galley, and comfortable sleeping quarters. Over the decades, 'Katinka' has been lovingly maintained, preserving much of her original character while benefiting from careful upgrades to ensure safe and enjoyable cruising. Her classic varnished woodwork and vintage fittings evoke the golden era of British leisure boating, making her a standout presence on the water. Whether moored peacefully along a quiet riverbank or gliding through gentle waterways, 'Katinka' remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Broom Boats and the timeless appeal of well-built wooden cruisers. 'Katinka’s' hull is built of Iroko on oak frames, a bespoke build strengthened and lengthened slightly for coastal voyages to enable her owners to explore the numerous rivers and inland waterways around the UK. Completely varnished to the waterline and antifouled below and with varnished Mahogany coachroof and cabin sides she is a stunningly elegant craft.
