 Launched on May 1930 at Fellows and Co, Great Yarmouth by Lady Fellow.She was built to a proven design, unique to the Oulton Broads, featuring a canoe hull, and known as a 'double-ender', complementing her identical bows and stern.Underneath the waterline, Regal Lady was originally propelled by two four bladed cast iron props, one fore and one aft, the main reason being that she was too large to turn round on the Norfolk waterways.
