The 65ft long yacht Maresia has arrived in Great Yarmouth after negotiating its way through into the town this afternoon from North Walsham.

The 20ft high boat entered Yarmouth via the Acle Straight, trundled over Breydon Bridge and then travelled down Pasteur Road where it turned right into Southtown Road.

She was escorted by police motorbike outriders who stopped traffic to make sure the Maresia reached its destination Alicat Shipyard, where the yacht will be launched next week.
