I realise that this may be of even less interest than the rest of this, but Henry is a Norman 23 hardtop, but has the window arrangement (and possibly the forward superstructure) of a Norman 24. This has led to her being registered on the Norman Boats Appreciation Society website as a 24. From many angles she has the appearance of a 24, and the 'cut off' corner at the front of the side window, and the parallelogram shaped window under the windscreen, are identifying features of the 24.

But she isn't a 24. She's a 23. The cockpit is smaller than a 24, the bow is a different shape and the coamings are different.

And I measured her. With a tape measure.

Saves me about £28 a year on her mooring fees too.
