Questions about Lydia
Do I need sailing experience to hire Lydia?
Lydia is suitable for people with average sailing experience. If you are new to sailing or would like a refresher, we can discuss tuition options with you.
Can Lydia go under Potter Heigham Bridge?
Bridge passage depends on water levels and clearance, with the mast lowered where required. Our staff take our hired yachts through the bridge when conditions allow, and can help plan your route. Never lowered a mast before? Our sailing how-to guides show you how.
Where can I go without passing Potter Heigham Bridge?
From our yard on the Upper Thurne you can sail to Hickling Broad, Horsey Mere and West Somerton without going through the bridge.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, subject to our conditions of hire, and a pet charge applies.
