The NHFT operates a fleet of 13 mahogany gaff-rigged 1930's gaff-rigged cruising yachts and five gaff-rigged half-decked wooden ex-racing yachts for hire, from their own traditional boatyard at Stalham, on the famous Norfolk Broads on England's east coast.

NHFT purchased Hunters Yard from Norfolk County Council in 1995, to ensure that the yard and the fleet of 1930's mahogany yachts remained intact. With this acheived, and the operation of the yard going from strength to strength, the Trust initiated an endowment policy to provide subsidies to youth groups - schools, scout and guide gropus, etc.- enabling young people to enjoy and benefit from sailing the beautiful Hunter yachts on the Norfolk Broads.

Over the years, more and more people are enjoying the qualities of these traditional craftsman-built yachts; private parties are encouraged to hire the yachts alongside the youth groups.

The income from private hirings avoids the necessity of having to borrow money from banks; the money we raise from hiring our yachts enables us to maintain them in near perfect condition.

Our website features all the information from our brochure, as well as video clips, games and an online shop. We also have a strong Friends organisation which offers a regular newsletter and many other benefits. Find us at www.huntersyard.co.uk.
