History & Construction.
This Broom 450 was built in 2002 and features a white GRP hull and topsides with stainless steel stanchions, pulpit, and a bathing platform. Its deep V hull design ensures excellent stability at sea. The vessel was last out of the water in 2024 for anode replacement, and the vessel was last antifouled in 2023. The current owner has enjoyed the boat since it was new in 2002 and is selling due to a change in circumstances.
Built by Broom in 2002 at their Brundall, Norfolk workshops, with a long-standing tradition for top quality boat building. Broom was established in 1898 by Charles Broom and the company started by building wooden vessels and offering them for holiday makers on the broads. In the 1960’s materials improved, and Broom stepped over into creating a wide range of larger GRP Cruisers. Broom is still boat building today from their Brundall workshop and still offering a hire service in Norfolk.
