  6. just booked it for next april has anybody hired it before looks good with the new floor plenty of space for us three, also booked swan renown for september looks awsome, any info would be good thanks.
  7. does anybody know if herbert woods picnic boats can be taken under potters bridge, there is nothing on their web site about any limits.
  8. a good tip maybe while crossing barton put some tape on the steering wheel top center while in a straight line then you will know where the center is at all times , it did help on antigua, got the idea from watching world rally championship. also i should mention when the roof is shut your vision from the helm seat to your left is restricted because of the shape of the roof, then again it does not rain in norfolk anyway does it, one of the best features on these boats is the stern big outdoor area with sliding glass doors loved it for that alone.
  9. just come back of major gem 2 good boat for the money best handling boat had so far but that dame roof, i took padding and i still ending up banging my head about 4 or 5 times, monte carlo cant be as bad as antigua did get use to it after a couple of days did have trouble judging distance to the bank when coming in to moor.
  10. that was unlucky, not your fault, that was a good response from rickos , what did you think of the boat,we have also booked broadland neptune for september cant wait.

  13. does anybody know when it might be opening, looked on web site not being updated yet.
  14. last couple of times we have being did notice one or two herbert woods emperor class smoking a bit .
  15. we had melody in may it had both and we have got major gem in september which is just 12v i think its got two sockets, maybe a certain person from richos could enlighten me.
  16. my mate has just come back from being on coral horizon he had agreat time nice boat , only problem was he could not use his electric cool box because they have taken out the 12v socket , and putting in 3 pin ones, does anybody know if they are doing this to all the boats, you would think they would leave them in .
  17. moored there a few weeks ago only for a hour no problem, i saw the sign but i thought what are they going to do clamp the boat.
  18. loved meeting everbody on saturday at salhouse and the food was so tasty thanks for making us welcome plus we had a great hols only 110 days to sept 11 on major gem 2 .
  19. that was me robin with the mud weight down doh! ,i cant believe i did that after two others at the meet told me they had done just that and i thought how the hell do you forget to pull it up before you set off, no excuse but i did spend a bit of time unknotting the mud weight rope i guess my brain thought i had already pulled it up , i sort of knew something was wrong because the revs were jumping around i should have stopped and had a looked around but i did not , should of would of could of, anyway nuff of the excuses thank you robin for spotting it god did i feel like a right plonker, when we got to malthouse and i had composed myself put a note on the helm MUD WEIGHT it worked did not do that again think ill get karen to laminate a sign for september.
