I am only familiar with the Broads through Arthur Ransome's remarkable
"Swallows and Amazons" series. "Coot Club" and "The Big Six" are set in
these waters; it must have been remarkable in the 1930's, and it sounds as
though the area is essentially unchanged!

If anyplace on earth is relevant to boating...

Not so Cap'n!

The Broads are stuffed with boats of all kinds, from Norfolk Wherries to
skiffs. It spreads from The Wash to the north and spreads all along the
Norfolk and Suffolk coastlines, going inland for many miles. It's a huge
wildlife preserve too, and has a very old commercial history. All the
thatch you see on 'olde worlde' houses comes from Norfolk Broads...
