| Sat 7 | Wherry 'Maud'
In 1899, Maud, the last survivor of Norfolk's iconic clinker-built trading wherries, was built to carry various cargoes including timber. This type of sailing vessel had long played a vital role in transporting materials and goods across Norfolk, but with the development of the rail and road networks they had become uneconomic. Looked after by a charitable trust, Maud is now used to educate the public about the role of wherries, and to keep alive the skills needed to maintain these special vessels.
The excursion will include a sail, refreshments (please bring your own lunch), and an informal presentation about Maud and the history of wherries. The cost of £25 includes membership of the Trust, which is necessary for insurance purposes. There are 9 places.

• Download and print the membership form from the trust website, Membership confers the right to book on trips for the year to 30 April 2026.
