hi clive. blimey that looks really smart, rickos are really going up market have you and paul been on the funny fags glad too see things are going so well.

thanks for the updates clive, do you no yet how many of the 45ft mould you will build ?

well done dan, great work i really love all the old photos, look forward to the site growing.

just noticed the wroxham hotel web cams says in use by itv daybreak. thats the one show spin of i think...

hi clive, will broadsman be fitted with shore power ? andy

thanks clive. broadsman is an old rickos boat am i correct clive? can we book now?? and some updated photo would be good ( if poss) guess your a bizzy guy

hi clive well said and i guess you know but how does the same boat go out one and half times a week andy

hi sandragon. it seems you had a bad time with rickos sorry too hear that its not the norm as their customer service imho is first class, yes some of the boats they hire are old i think its fair too say thats reflected in the hire price. weve hirered boats many times through hoseasons and have never been let down. but they are just the letting agent and dont own the yards or boats, so when you say hoseasons at wroxham. royalls and summer craft are the two yards hoseasons are agent for in that area and they are two of the best yards on the broads. happy boating in sept. andy

no one for me either,, just dosnt look like a river crusier to me.

hi,agree with howard norwich city centre water front..

hi jill, on the waveny near beccles...

hi all, we are on the broads in two weeks planing our trip and wanted some info on beccles bridge. what clearance is their at the bridge at high tide? we want to try and get down to the locks at gelsdon. were on suncharm from rickos so quite low in the water. thanks andy

hi simon, im sure they started doing thurs start days a month or so ago on one of the french boats they have put into the fleet. andy

hi, dont think you would be upset if you booked a boat from any of the yards mentioned so far. weve hired from them all apart from swancraft and their boats allways look smart.summercrafts boats are imho the best looking boats on the rivers allways in first class condition and good customer service plus seeing brian in his hot pants shorts is allways good for the comerdy vaule sorry brian. thanks andy

hi clive,when do you think you will be releasing info on the new boat ie prices dates etc. i only ask as i spoke to my brother about booking her for next year he called me back to say he couldnt find any info on yours or hoseasons websites ( forgot to tell him he should look on here ) just dont want to miss the boat,so to speak andy

hi barry. fantasic work you guys are doing.will you sell this boat on our will she be kept for your own use. thanks andy

now that looks very nice clive. she seems to sit high in the water is this because shes empty or is it just me. saw one of brooms old admirals in horning the other week looked fantastic aswell. i love the old boats.. i bet your boat builders love getting to grips with this kind of project, got to be better then cutting lumps out of a grp moulds. andy

hi springsong, was the boat you refer to the old mtb moored at thorpe just past the boatyard? andy

martin thanks it was indeed sir tristrim. the yard and staithe seemed so much larger in thoses days. thanks again for all the info and links. andy

goodall_m1 what a fantasic link to the past. thank you very much.

hi w44nty,no it wasnt hunters yard wich is much further up the dyke. thanks anyway. dan i think your right .. god where does your knoledge end?? my dad(who is no longer with us) my brother and me had a trip in late october from this yard im sure the boat name was sir tristain, god it was cold that week. im sure they were a blakes yard. the boat as far as i can remember was a wooden boat. any other pics would be great, thanks again andy

hi guys, looking for some info on a boat yard that used to be at womack. we think they stoped hiring back in the early 80s late 70s, they were about half way down the staithe.used to be a house on the site of the yard i think, any info or pic would be great. thanks in advance. andy

hi neil,maffett used to hire larger berth boats and with the current up turn in hire bookings they may well again, i do love their old wooden boats their fantastic and so well kept. totally agree with comments on le boat. who on earth came up with thoses hire prices

hi clive and thanks again, must say i love the seat on the stern thats such a good idea. johnys right she does look very lush, the stern section really does have lovely flowing lines. lookes like she really will sit low in the water. not so sure on the front section yet. but diffrent is good. thanks again clive, andy

thanks for taking the time to reply clive guess you guys are really bizzy this time of the year. any pics of the completed hull yet, thanks again
