History
Built in 1880’s and named LAMA or LLAMA for the owner of the Red House public house at Cantley on the River Yare, Norfolk. In 1913 she was owned by Mr Snowden of Norwich who cut off the counter and added a coachroof. The boat has had a number of owners, among them John Hicks who kept her some 20 years on the Broads. She was purchased in 1980 by her present owner who has undertaken major overhauls, including re-builing the counter. She was re-named XENIA in 1993. November 2007
