Surveyor's notes: Another well-built boat for its size, although the fact that it was designed to be used on the narrow canal network means that some examples will now be showing the effects of a lifetime's lockings. Most will be outboard-powered the saildrive version tested by MBY was a late variation introduced just before Norman Cruisers went out of business and may now need re-engining.
