Laura Perry fell overboard from the rear deck when the boat's stern made hard contact against the embankment wall opposite Great Yarmouth Yacht Station.
A mother-of-three who died when she got caught in a boat's propeller and drowned would have been unlikely to have fallen from the hire boat if an adequate rail had been fitted, an investigation has found.
Her mother and father, her sister, who was the driver, and her 16-year-old niece, were also in the group on the 12.8m motor cruiser Diamond Emblem 1. "The boat's driver at the upper helm control position was unable to control the motor cruiser at the time, most likely because the helm position changeover lever had been incorrectly set to the lower helm position."
It said that the handover, which took"about 10 minutes", happened while the group's luggage was being loaded on to the boat at Ferry Marina in Horning, which was the hire boat operator.Recommendations made to 'enhance safety of hire operations'
