Name Katinka

KATINKA is a leisure craft, built in 1960 by C J Broom of Brundall, Norfolk.  She is a vessel of mahogany carvel construction, with a BMC diesel engine.  She is an Admiral class vessel, designed primarily for inland and coastal cruising.  The hull is Iroko on oak frames, with 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.  She is completely varnished to the waterline with a varnished Mahogany coachroof and cabin sides.

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. She has had only one owner from new in 1960 and has spent her entire life in Norfolk. 

Update, April 2025: Vessel for sale.
