About the Club

image

The Broom Owners Club are an independent and non-commercial association of people with at least one thing in common - we all own Broom boats.

Anyone who owns/part-owns any boat produced by C.J. Broom & Sons - young or old, large or small, sea-going or strictly non-tidal . . . and that applies equally to the boat or you!

Around the Regions

image

Our regional coordinators arrange get-togethers, both on and off the water throughout the year, and keep in touch with members.

We've got members in the UK and Ireland, the Channel Islands, throughout continental Europe and even in the USA.

Technical Advice

image

Our Technical Coordinator answers your difficult questions, arranges discounts on parts and keeps an archive of useful contacts.

You can find help in our index of articles from Sweeping Statements or in our FAQs.

Models Gallery

Do you know your planing hull from your semi-displacement?

Can you tell a 35CL from a 365, and a Crown from a Continental?

Our Models Gallery is for closet Broom spotters who want to get the low down on the 40 different models built since 1960.

Flags, Caps and Burgees

If you're proud of your BOC membership you'll want to fly it from your flagstaff so get one of our double sided burgees or house flags to adorn your mast.

We also have caps, ties, clothing and a new club pin badge.

SWEEPING STATEMENTS SPRING 2012 ISSUE PDF Print E-mail

March the 16th, 2012 - that's the cut-off date for sending in articles for the next issue of Sweeping Statements. This is your opportunity to share your boat owning experiences with all other members in the club. Your experiences with overcoming mechanical or other problems could help other members, and your cruising experiences could encourage or enthuse other members to undertake a new and adventurous cruise, so don't keep it all to yourself - let us all know.

 Seriously, we do need articles for publishing in the magazine and these could cover all and any aspect of boating - have you a funny story to relate? Do you have something to relate which could avoid potential pitfallls in the coming cruising season, or have you some great ideas for a cruise? Have you carried out some really helpful modification to your boat? Are you a first time Broom owner? Have you been on a cruise of a lifetime? Have you cruised in company with other Broom owners? It would be great to hear your stories and also to hear about any major difficulties you have overcome and how you dis so. So please get to work on putting your experiences down on paper, and if you have any high quality, high pixel content photos to accompany the text that would be wonderful too, and send it all to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by 16th March at the latest. The club will really appreciate your efforts.

Broom owners party on through recession PDF Print E-mail

Broom owners turned out in force once again this year at the London Boat Show to celebrate another year's boating, and look forward to the new season afloat. The show itself has struggled to attract both exhibitors and visitors, but the Broom Owners Club have enjoyed a bumper year of new memberships and renewals and continues to fill a vital role - introducing members to one another and providing opportunities to get together, so that they can get even more use and enjoyment out of their Broom boat.

The Boat Show party is an important date in the BOC calendar and prompts the discussion of ideas for the coming season as well as sharing ideas for improvements and modifications to the boats themselves.

So this is Christmas, or so one memorable Chistmas Ballad goes, and it seems to come round so quickly these days....

 My great pleasure is to wish you all a very very happy Christmas and a happy and content New Year.

We are going to be aboard our boat overnight on New Years Eve and will definitely raise a glass to The Broom Owners Club.

Lets hope the Night is not too cold and the heating and the Plumbing are in Good Order.

Then at least we can dream of the warm Spring and Summer days ahead of us in 2012.

God Bless Everyone

 Yours

Frank ( and Diane)  Hawkins

Broom Boats have now confirmed their plans for the London Boat Show and they will be having a stand in the main hall along with some of their dealers (Stand number L112). This means that our annual Boat Show party now has a location and so is definitely ON!

Broom's and the BOC will be sharing the cost of the refreshments (they're buying the wine; we're buying the nibbles!) so we are delighted to invite all members to join us on the Broom stand on the evening of Thursday 12th January 2012 from 6.30pm.
