Significant events
- “This year has seen over 600 school children from Norwich and around the county visit the Yard, go out for a sail on the river, be introduced to Alblon, the Norfolk Wherry and to experience the natural environment so many of us know simply as 'The Broads'.”
- “The continuing loss of fleet bookings which had begun to make itself felt before COVID and is still struggling to recover.”
- “The early months of the year saw flooding throughout the Broads and right through both sheds.”
- “The hoped for apprentice scheme has suffered a set-back with the closure of IBTC, the boat building college at Lowestoft.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
