Hi all
The "crew" and I have spent the summer narrowing down our prospective Autumn boat purchase, and like the look of a Norman 23.
We really need to spend half an hour or so looking around an aft cockpit 23 to try the headroom, the cockpit size, the space for heads/shower/berths.
We would also like to see the difference between inboard and outboard power, in terms of noise/space/economy.
Anyone out there got one on the Norfolk Broads, that would swap a little trial for a coffee (or beer)?
Cheeky, I know, but how else do you try a boat for size?
Cheers Steve |

Recently sold mine on the Broads. Now I don't often suggest using other forums but if you were to ask the question on the following one you will likely get a response.

Hi Adi
"Crew" is just my other half!! She is getting used to the name
So it will just be the two of us.
We are going to try to persuade out rather exuberant boxer dog that he loves boats!!

We're not on the broads so cant help - However how many are in yr crew ?
The 22/23 is a good space for 2 on a long trip , good for 3 also but involves making the 3rd bed up & is'cosy' for 4 !
You could sleep 5 if someone takes a bed in the cockpit , but if over 2 adults you gotta be good freinds imho !
We use our 22 (pretty much the same as a 23) as a boat for us both but have berthed a mate on regular occasions or our 2 sons also (gets a bit cramped at night!)
Good luck on yr search !
