🌟 Maud's 125th Anniversary! 🌟
Big thanks to Roger from Instant Films for capturing her historic visit to Cantley Sugar Factory! 🚤✨ & to skipper Kim Dowe who shares childhood memories & tales of his father, also a #wherry skipper. youtu.be/r4-VpEL3sjE?si=W-SF…

Ever wondered what's involved in becoming a wherry skipper? Thanks to Jeff Stamps for this great little insight. Footage and interviewing by @GraemeTaplinAUS & @Iandwakefield youtu.be/yqFC6a-n54o

#WATER & people have a connection. The #drone shot is of the #ThreeRiversRace & @MaudTrust in @BroadsNP.
A study says that 'being near a body of water has therapeutic benefits, ranging from increased happiness to creativity’. It boosts mine!

Great to have you aboard Graeme!
Having the wind in YOUR SAILS is not only a positive but a must when you take part in #sailingraces. We sailed on the #WherryMaud to watch part of the @threeriversrace.
It is Europe’s toughest inland #sailing race - 50 miles in the @BroadsNP. Congrats winners! 8.5hrs!

More messing about on the river videos :-) but that's what we like doing. Here is Maud crossing Breydon Water on Monday. Shot by Nicki. #wherry #wherrymaud #Norfolkbroads @NorfolkBroadsNP youtu.be/TacE-yWfS6s
Thanks for the mention. Well done Linda and glad everyone enjoyed the event. Sail on!

Thanks for this great video Graeme!
SAIL AWAY with me on the #Wherry Maud on the #Norfolk & #Suffolk Broads. She is a traditional Norfolk trading wherry, built in 1899, and one of only two left #sailing. Enjoy the tranquil moments in this area of outstanding natural beauty. @BroadsNP @visitnorfolk @NNorfolkLiving
Great job Neil :-)
Want to see a bittern @RevRichardColes? @BBCSaturdayLive whilst it can’t be 100% guaranteed a sail on Wherry Maud often gives a great view!! Smug hubby skippering his large craft.
Wherry Maud Trust now has a YouTube Channel, you will find it here youtube.com/@wherrymaudtrust

Congratulations Graeme, surely no competition!
An image or two that I’ve taken of the Norfolk Wherry Maud have been short listed for the annual National Historic Ships photography competition, worth a viewing 🤞@MaudTrust @Iandwakefield @visitnorfolk @BroadsNP @BroadsAuth

A couple of weekends back I spent a lovely day on the #WherryMaud on the #NorfolkBroads and failed to take a photo of her! I was obviously far too chilled. If you become a member you can be that chilled too! wherrymaudtrust.org/sail-wit…
A Wherry good read 😂
Brilliant article in the Guardian ⛵️
I took a sailing holiday – on one of Norfolk’s historic wherries

Why not learn about Wherry Maud this weekend by watching our beautiful video shot by @GraemeTaplinAUS for the Heritage Open Days?

Thanks so much to @LovetheBroads for helping us keep #NorfolkBroads history alive!
Would a grant help your project in the @BroadsNP? We were delighted to fund the iconic @MaudTrust this week - if you have a project that would help wildlife, the environment or access in the Broads we'd love to hear from you – bit.ly/3iymXdc or [email protected]

We don't often see the two historic #Norfolk #Suffolk sailing boats - Wherry Maud and Albion in one scene. The black sail of Wherry Maud is followed by Albion (just visible) into the River Thurne @MaudTrust @ThurneMill @BroadsNP @NatHistShips @BroadsAuth
📢 Thanks for all your support. WE DID IT!! 💖
The Wherry Maud Trust campaign to raise money for a new support boat for Maud began in May 2021 and ran until the end of July. The full £10,500 needed was raised.
The picture shows the boat we boat to accompany #wherrymaud.
