St Joan was built in 1929 as a Fast Coastal Cruiser by JW Brooke & Sons of Lowestoft. She is a splendid example of the classic lines of gentlemen?s motor yachts of that era. She was restored between 1990 to 1995 very nearly to her original internal layout and has since been maintained to the highest standards.<span style="font-style: italic;"><br><br></span>Picture courtesy of <a href="http://www1.thamesdiamondjubileepageant.org/Gallery.aspx" target="_blank">Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant</a><br>
