hi if it's in our favour ie tides with us and no waiting required it totals 155 pounds.emergency calls are a different tariff but if you book a tow we can work out a rate for each occasion.hope this helps@Wehlau/EMS.. I'm just curious. How much is a tow back from lets say Great Yarmouth to St olaves? (I am sitting down lol)

:thankyou we aim to please,sorry about the fenders but they keep my old man safe over the "busy"season .we are putting moorings in this year so the front will slowly become more clear as work advances making it easier to moor

There is a yard does pump outs at GY think he is a member here.
Yes I am a member here and our pump out price is 14 for one loo 19 for two and 24 for three.blue is available on request for private boat at no charge.and we also do a deep clean service for winter ups etc. the tide can move a bit here but you can call in advance and we can catch a rope.

yes have been told the same,fingers crossed... suggests that the Berney Arms may reopen next week. Not, as far as I understand a long term solution, more like a seasonal stop gap.

Hi all
I have a friend with a boat for sale.this one is a bit special 50foot steel trawler style cruiser built in 1979 and never used.has got running motor and the steel work is still very good.also has a current BSC and is broads regestered but has never been moved.could make nice house boat.

Hi all,
when we used to hire, there was always a new copy of Broadcaster every time we stepped aboard. Now we have Lightning, it`s up to us to get one for ourselves, but where can you get them from near Brundall?. Are they available in local shopd etc, or do you have to get them from the local tourist iformation office?.[/quote we give them away at our pump out in G/Y

we have spent the last two years trying to sort out the absolute disregard for the speed on the lower Bure.we are new to the Norfolk broads but come from a long boating back ground and this sort of behaviour is unacceptable and destructive.we have had false promises from the police and the Rangers do not actually range this far down.last year we were hit and the guy told my wife to f??k off as he shot off at high speed.and can you believe we were hit head on at 06.30 in the morning,after the paramedic finished with them and the wrecked boat towed away the guy told me he his son spilt a drink so he left the wheel to sort him.You can find the video here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/785936721494266/
I don't have any problem with people sharing such videos, as long as they have also reported such to the Broads Authority and use the video as evidence, if it was the case this was simply captured shared and then prompts debate about it then that in my opinion is not the way about things.
If there is an issue of speeding on the lower Bure then the more often such incidents are reported to the Broads Authority the more they can do to catch offenders such as setting up speed traps like often is the case at the moorings at St. Benet's - furthermore it might be any idea for boatyards to have a note saying such and such a boat was caught speeding and as a result the hirers were prosecuted - this could be you, think twice sort of thing.

Sorry still can't get the vid to down load but you can see it on Norfolk broads news on FB

thats interesting I'll go and take a look next week,if they are carefull enough with a wherry then they can be trusted.some yards are a bit gung ho with lifting out and my old Prussian coaster is precious to me as its believed to be the last of its kindInterestingly the Norfolk wherries go to the Excelsior Trust rather than to a Broads yard.
-
I would like to put a short piece of film showing a speeding and overtaking, but seem not to have permission, help please.
-
looks like it may be Lowerstoft for the slip out.in Great Yarmouth the minimum price is 2000pounds.the problem being they play with the big boys and two grand is a sniff to them.i was hoping to find someone on the broads and give them a chance to earn some money.I suspect that the Excelsior Trust could too.
Have seen barges, as well as ships, hauled up there.
-
working out the fuel and the dry dock it's the same price give or take as the dry dock here.so it's just do I fancy a trip or not.i will look in to Lowerstoft as I have only spoken to one firm at the moment"Lowerstoft slipway service".Yes but close to you!
-
both Alicat and fender care are very high price,it would be cheaper to hire a crane.it may be a trip down to Maldon my home town and go in a dry dock,it's just the time there and back and the fuel cost at 22ltrs an hourAlicat in the port 300 tonnes I think.

Hi all
Before we go to Lowerstoft in the winter for a scrub of paint and altra sound,is there a slip or a hoist on the broads that can carry 89tons.even a crane out if anyone knows a yard with the space.
-
you are correct the last one that hit us finished up match wood.nice little NB less work than a woody or a plastic .more time on the river less time in the shed!I hate' em. My bowsprit won't go through tin

i watched three big private boats playing on Breydon Monday,looked like they were having good fun running flat out.apparently they can cross from yarmouth to the Berney in just six minutes.as for speeding up the Bure it's not just the mallards you need to watch out for,for some reason there is a total disregard for the speed limit here at yarmouth.over taking boats doing six mile per hour seems to be a sport here and as for the wash that's just a joke.i have cctv on my yard now for security but one camara covers the river so I am reporting the reg numbers to the broads beat of all the boats that speed private and hire craft alike.dnks34
It sure is though I chickened out at 3500rpm and 22knots, (red lined at 4000rpm but the motors at 20 yrs old and one has to have sympathy for them)
If I did that up the Bure I suspect there would be complaints from more than the nesting mallards and kayakers, though have been aboard at 18knots on a river trial, all legal of course in a designated area.

yes there are some nasty stakes in that corner.i towed six boats off the same spot last year and two this year so far.i towed a private boat of last year he told me that the marker posts are only there for deep draught vessels?no they are there to show you the channel unless you can float on mud was my reply as he sat at 45degrees.I think there are some nasty stakes under there, not a corner to shortcut under any circumstances.

safe and sound,I think it went back under her own steam.with a bit of luck she will be on hire again Friday.Hello and welcome to NBN Terry
, we were down at the moorings yesterday and it was good to see Hurricane floating and moored up at the moorings. We missed you taking her away from the BA moorings. Did you take her back to Alphacraft Brundall?We know Graham at Maffetts and he knows our boat

Hi all, sorry no pics as it was a bit dark, but John Cressy and his old mate Bill, who were hanging on the side of Hurricane at the time I pulled her off had a good ride, lol, had to be towed backwards to the mooring, all good fun, you know where we are if you need us, Thanks Terry.
