Moored here is S332, a private sailing yacht named 'Phantom'. It was designed by Jan Proctor and built by Rydgeway Marine/Pegasus Yachts at Oulton Broad. The River Yare is very quiet these days. Ever since the lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic which had been imposed on 23 March most businesses, including boat yards, are closed. The lockdown was eased on 13 May (a day before this photo was taken) and private boats are now again allowed to travel on England's rivers. Hire boats, however, make up for the bulk of river traffic in this area.
