Worth knowing
Horizoncraft of Acle; cover, cost and conditions
Horizoncraft was based at Acle on the Norfolk Broads, the network of rivers and shallow lakes in the east of England. The Richardson family set the business up after selling their Stalham yard in the 1970s. Under the Horizon name came several cabin cruisers for inland waters, among them the Horizon 35, the Horizon 42 and the Atlantic Horizon. The Horizon 35 is easy to recognise: a glassfibre hull, the helm position forward under a sliding canopy, an open well at the stern and an inboard engine. Just as important on the Broads is her low air draught of a little over two metres, which lets her pass under the bridges into most parts of the system.
Our model records list one Horizoncraft design, the Horizon 35 motorboat, with build years from 1974 to 1980 and a length of 10.49 metres. The Broads boat register gives the Horizon 35 as roughly 10.67 metres long and 3.51 metres wide, so the papers of an individual boat settle the exact figures. Below there is room for six people in three cabins, with the galley to port and a dinette at the helm that converts into a double berth. No further lines from the yard appear in our records, and no entry reaches later build years. Even the youngest boat is now more than 45 years old, yet many are still cruising the Broads.
A Broads cruiser of this age lives or dies by its maintenance. Check the sliding canopy for leaks and worn runners, since water finding its way inside soon damages headlinings and woodwork. The inboard engine and its stern gear should be looked at with the boat out of the water, along with the hull for blisters and old repairs. Fresh water systems and gas installations in older boats are worth a close inspection. These cruisers suit families who want to spend a week or two on the rivers, mooring at staithes and pubs. Low speed limits mean engines rarely work hard, so service records matter more than hours.
