History and Construction

Broom European 35 built by C.J. Broom & Sons Ltd in 1978 to a John Bennett/Broom design. White GRP semi-displacement hull design with white superstructure and decks with moulded non-slip surfaces. Folding radar arch, with hydraulic support and windscreen. Steps down to teak laid bathing platforms with swim ladder. 
Broom was founded in 1898 by Charles J Broom at first building individual sailing vessels for the local gentry to sail on the wide-open spaces of the Norfolk Broads. Over the course of the next 100 years Broom have gone from strength-to-strength, offering innovation and quality hand craftsmanship. The Crown 37 offered the traditional spacious aft cabin layout Broom are so well known for with a more modern and stylish design than previous models and paved the way for all subsequent models. Well suited to cruising the inland waterways, estuaries and coastal sea cruising they offer an excellent low maintenance alternative to Pedro, Linssen and similar steel motor yachts.
