The Wherry Yacht 'Norada' moored at Stalham Staithe
'Norada' was built in 1909 by Ernest Collins of E Collins & Sons of Wroxham, designed to be small enough in order to pass under the low bridges at Ludham and Potter Heigham. She is named after a famous racing yacht of the era. Her interior consists of a quad cabin and a double cabin > Link , a saloon > Link which can be converted to two double berths and also contains a piano, a galley > Link and a toilet.

After having been retired she was acquired by a Mr Andrew, who renamed her Lady Edith in honour of his wife and in 1964 she was bought by Barney Matthews, who sailed and then began to restore her before founding Wherry Yacht Charter with Peter Bower. Norada reverted to her original name as part of her 75th anniversary celebrations in 1987. In 2004 she was transferred to the Wherry Yacht Charter Charitable Trust.
