The Horning Boat Show, taking place on Saturday, May 5, will showcase boating businesses from Norfolk and further afield and provide a family day out in the Broads.

For Dad’s Boats, this year’s show will mark 50 years since its founder, David Williams, sailed the two-seater pedal boat he had designed around the Isle of Wight.

In the summer of 1968, Mr Williams and friend Jeremy Buckland circumnavigated the island in a bid to prove the pedal boat could really go places.

Ludham-based Dad’s Boats will be exhibiting its latest design of pedal boat at the Horning Boat Show as well as its ornamental wooden propellers.

Director Stephen Pitkethly said: “The Horning Boat Show is a chance for the entire Broads community to get together to see what’s going on as well as hosting exhibitors from all over the UK.”
