Welcome to the River Cruiser Class.
Hello everyone,
As we approach the 2024 season, with many of us now rigged, or about to be launched… I’d like to gently remind everyone, If you are making changes to your rig or hull – you need to let the commitee know!
Details of our committee meetings are here; https://rivercruiserclass.org/committee-meetings/
Guidance of what to tell us about, can be found here; https://rivercruiserclass.org/owners-faq/
In the meantime, I hope to see you all soon.
Joe Farrow, Class Captain.

Who we are
Welcome to the official web site of the River Cruiser Class, the organisation for owners of traditional cabin yachts, indigenous to the Norfolk Broads.
The class consists of over 400 inland waterways sailing yachts, designed specifically and exclusively for cruising and racing the Broads network of lakes and rivers in Norfolk and North Suffolk.
Of these river cruisers, several are over 100 years old, and over 150 were built before 1940.
The Class is not however confined to a vintage and veteran boat collection, with a large proportion of registered yachts built in the past 20 years, and new class yachts are regularly launched every few years.
