The Broads Green Boat Show 2006 The Broads Green Boat Show 2006 was held at Salhouse Broad, Norfolk, having evolved from a smaller show which had run in previous years, called "Silent Sensations".
The Show was a great success and people arrived either by road (there is plenty of parking on site) or by taking advantage of the electric boat 'taxi' service from Wroxham.
The Broads Green Boat Show 2006 was a great success, and we look forward to another great day in 2007.

The Show is a unique event, and the tranquil wooded setting of the privately owned Salhouse Broad makes the perfect site. This is the only Green Boat Show in the UK and is a great opportunity to show off developments in renewable energy in the boating world. We were able to offer displays of electric boats and a bio-diesel powered hire boat, as well as many small pedal or rowing boats and dinghies, which visitors could take out on to the water. 
We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny September day for the Show. Owners of private electric boats offered free rides, to show just how quiet and peaceful their craft are, compared to diesel boats. Adults and children alike enjoyed the chance to take a pedal-boat around the Broad, or to sample canoes, rowing and electric boats, with the shelving beach and wooden moorings making it easy to launch boats and embark. 
Also on site was a marquee with stands showing a variety of green products including fuel cells, solar panels, wind turbines and recycled plastic for moorings and fences. There was entertainment from a traditional jazz band, as well as a refreshment stall serving teas, coffees and burgers.
