Hi Cheesey,
Welcome aboard the NBN friendly Forum As others have said, I am sorry to read you had a few wee niggling problems. Any boat with a sliding roof, will allow the draughts in although if you can moor into the wind it can sometimes help.
I hope you return again in the near future, and have a better experience too. I would not say IMHO its elitist just a few less public moorings than there use to be.(Boatyards moorings are available during the season) As for not being allowed to take the boat through Wroxham Bridge I know how I felt, having taken over 80 boats through over forty years, I feel I am being told am not up to the job, perhaps you felt the same?
In truth, after so many accidents by some hirers, and the high insurance costs I would think that was the reason to stop us doing it ourselves. Still sticks in my craw as they say.
I do hope you are back on the Broads soon.
Iain.
