Brooms

[Trevor BriggsParticipant @trevorbriggs64564]

I’m looking for drawings for a Commander Broads holiday cruiser.  The builder’s C J Broom of Brundall, Norfolk do not hold any as the boats were developed on the shop floor.  Does anybody have access to drawings or know where I might obtain same. so I can build a working model.  I used to work for Brooms in the late 1960’s hence my interest.

Hi Trevor

 

Is this the boat that you are looking for?

[Trevor BriggsParticipant @trevorbriggs64564]

Yes that looks like it.  If I remember she is about 34ft. long with a beam of 10ft..

They might provide food for thought and the Broom owners club might be able to help with drawings

I have now successfully completed the model and delivered it to the client. Thanks to all who contributed information.

Nearly 7 years? Your clients must be more patient than mine!

Quality is always worth waiting for… even the Fearsome Pope was prepared to wait and that was just a paint job.
