Hockham Admiral

Richard, Hi. Welcome onboard from us!

Poor old guy.... you've got to be some sort of wrotten ****** to do this sort of thing............

Wroxham? Most little dykes do have seperate names.....

She does look nice, Geoff and reasonably prived too. You must have read many favourable comments re Riccos on this Forum?

And you don't have to wait too long at the bar, Howard!

Well said, Paul! The moorings at Herringfleet are a point in question... with a stiff ebb facing me and a 6mph limit I'd have to be at displacement speed to get anywhere near that limit... that would give a truly horrendous wake, but be legal........... I find that when passing moorings if I just pull the revs back to 1200 my wake all but disappears.

Thanks, David.. I just asked him about her and here's his reply: Thanks JR..some good info..sounds like a good old girl then. It is to be used to live on for my 9 days off every month.Our daughter lives next to Bates Wharf marina in Chertsey and we plan to spend the time with her to see our little grandson.The boat is lying in Worchester ,,Upton-upon-Severn. It has osmosis and the guy has dropped the price to 9000 due to this.It can be used as is .Interior still looks great.76 model with Volvo MD21 pentas. We weighed up the costs and too expensive to transport our classic up from the Med so decided to look for another boat to keep in the UK for our visiting purposes and to enjoy some inland exploring.

I have a pal who's interested in buying a Princess 32 this weekend...... any tips on what to look out for, please?

Very well said, Brian!

Have a Great Day, Brian........ you've certainly booked the weather! (Oh, and don't forget the suncream!)

I don't see how any business can expect to receive plaudits if it can't accept raspberries.

What a magnificent, truly wonderful account of your voyage! I look forward to a longer account over a few jars sometime in the future!

A very interesting reply, JTF.... "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I believe.... and with that in mind I personally think she's beautiful!

JTF, Hi I suppose you could say that Alphas from 20 years ago now look dated? (Not that I'd necessarily agree with you!)

A slow cruise from (foggy) Rocklands to (sunny) Horning!

It does get a bit sludgy in the corner where we were moored, Lori... but nowhere nearly bad enough to stop us visiting the New Inn!

The most beautiful boat overtook us just before the Bernie Arms this morning.. doing about 6mph she hardly showed a wake! I think she's called "Carousel"......

Boats getting under Wroxham at LW today so don't suppose Wayford will be a problem....... Potter's another thing though! (ring the Pilots for latest info).

Here's us at 06.30 this morning groping our way across Rockland Broad!
