History
Built by Wood's yard in 1901. After many years as part of the Applegates/Woods hire fleet on the Broads at Potter Heigham, NEVER-CAN-TELL was used for sail training on courses run by the Central Council for Physical Recreation. She was purchased by Mr and Mrs Lilley in 1970 and in 1998 by the NCT Trust who arranged for her to be rebuilt by Paul Reynolds from Eastwood Whelpton’s yard. The object of the Trust is to ensure the condition of the boat makes her available for use in the future. January 2008 (Archive)
