'Barn Owl' is a very special little boat. With unknown origins, she is believed to have been built in the 1920's. The first surviving record of her, from 1955, references her use on the Norfolk Broads. Barn Owl has had several major restorations in her life time. Built from mahogany on oak, with electric propulsion this little boat is perfect for those wishing to cruise the inland waters with grace and style.
