  1. has to be the most interesting helm seat I have ever seen..
  2. two were built before the mould was destroyed, the other being 'farthing" which has a different rig.
  3. swap a bees boats for my broken Moores? I can't buy them these days as people have gone a bit stupid but always happy for swaps, problem is everyone has the same ones! I also like builders plaques obviously some are worth more than others
  4. friends, family, kids and dogs out for a sail. we had 7 crew on Raisena which was the least you needed in any wind to do well.
  5. I have a Hampton 25 listed for one of my private moorers, nice little boat but i don't have pictures yet.
  6. Hi Simon, too many boats with canopies would come home with the neatly folded canopy down, only for us to find out one of the sides were missing!
  7. no, we have never sold anything like that, perhaps try phoenix at potter heigham, they may be tempted...
  8. i virtually live on mine before the 3RR every year and pass 2 bridges twice, thats why i can't deal with it for the rest of the year, I think the class is regarded as a clique is because virtually the same people meet up every other week and sail together, when they are not sailing they are talking about sailing, there is not one clique, there are a few groups but thats the same in any walk of life it just looks like it form the outside. I think at Wroxham you have to marry within the clique or join another club.
  9. Nice pic, I dont do much these days but its all a bit tense on the start of a cruiser race, especially if its a bit windy! lots of shouting especially at Wroxham which is who i try and just do passage races and Barton (which i missed this year)
  10. I think Ladybird originally had a chain to connect the tiller to the rudder,
  11. does the RAF not still own the staithe?
  12. No, she is as she was built, I have a copy of her drawings somewhere.. Im not 100% sure it is her in the picture as it could be a normal transom and the angle of the photo playing tricks but she is painted and stem looks right.. I told Sid i was taking it and gave him a donation!
  13. I found this picture of what I think is Ladybird with her Hireboat cabin on her, I removed it from the wall of the Thurne Lion before it shut..
  14. I know everyone loves their boats but Ladybird is the best looking river cruiser, well done Mr Woods!
  15. I think Pat Simpson owned Evening Flight at one point too.. Im sure if Herbert woods was still building river cruisers then they would look like the new boats and if he still owned Ladybird then she would have a carbon mast.
  16. Ladybird sail number 13. Viking is 113, she had a canoe stern added to her a year or so ago, I thought Tony Knights put her cabin back to original? I think it was also him who had the rig of Crossbow on her.
  17. https://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/register/393/golden-galleon
  18. Stellar and Lyra were built in the shed next to south gates lower st Horning, one was at Landemores briefly but not sure why (perhaps paint?) I usually lift Stellar at Horning on/off her trailer
  19. The boat classes with varnished hulls booked better if the brochure picture was of a painted hull, people turning up to a varnished hull would complain if the boat was not of a white modern appearance as depicted in the brochure.
  20. just 4 boats left now! https://www.richardsonsboatsales.net
  21. yeah, we have been that price since the start of last season (or before) we did consider putting it up but we like to be best value. when i see my boats filling up elsewhere at £1.20 I am always a little puzzled but not overly bothered! always happy to welcome visitors ,
  22. Richardsons at Horning and Stalham Still £1.15 per litre diesel
