The Norfolk Punt was derived from the flat-bottomed gun punts that roamed the Broadland waters in the mid-to-late 19th century. However, at the turn of the 20th Century, in order to get to and from the hunting grounds more efficiently, the punters developed their craft to carry a basic mast and sail for travelling with the wind. It is from these humble beginnings that one of the country's most exciting and powerful racing dinghy classes was born.
Appeal for Plans
To mark the centenary year of the Norfolk Punt Club the Norfolk Punt Owner's Association is commissioning artwork inspired by the plans of Norfolk Punts throughout their racing history.
If you possess Punt plans which you are willing to have scanned (we'll arrange that part) to contribute to this effort please get in touch with the secretary.
We'll also be updating the website to be able to store plans for posterity.
