Hi All,

My father, Graham has owned and run Norton Canes Boatbuilders since 1986. He is currently building his 100th boat for Norton Canes, NB. Honesty.

Inspired by Sarah's Town Class Sticker Album I have set myself the challenge of finding a photograph of every boat that he has built. While I'm at it, I might as well make a gallery for the Malcolm Braine boats that he built too!

I've made a start by creating an owners gallery on our website, which can be found here:

http://www.nortoncanesboatbuilders.co.uk/register.html

As you can see I'm quite a way off my target, so I need a bit of help… If anyone on here owns, or knows someone who owns a Norton Canes or a Malcolm Braine boat could you please send me some information about your boat? I am looking for the following information:

Name (If re-named, both original name and new name)
Build Date
Build Number (Norton Canes will start with 10 ie. 1001 for number 1)
Length
Other Info (Engine, Fitter, Mooring, whatever you want to tell me)
Photo (either current or old photo)

Please sent any information that you have to:
sarah (at) nortoncanesboatbuilders (dot) co (dot) uk

Thanks!

Sarah

The list already makes interesting reading, it should keep you quiet for a while to get it all together. I have some pics of Kano taken at Market Harborough last year I will let you have.

Thanks Chris, I do have some Kano pics, but anything you could send me would be good!

Hi Sarah
email sent re. Arbutus. No 3

Hope it helps a little.

Chris,

It's uploaded to the site, with a credit for Brian.
