I didnt even think of the lenght of the mooring rope, i was looking at the Wooden Uprights.
But now looking at the mooring rope being Exactly taught to the height of the boat makes me think even more its a photoshop.
Im surprised the BBC didnt sus it out !

Hi Woody,
Do you do much sailing off the Eastern Coastline ?

You have to visit Essex Boatyards.
When shopping for a boat i visited them.
Very friendly and helpful.
http://www.essexboatyards.com/
They even took me out in this a Doral 235BR Elite, costing only £ 44,950.00 to show me the kind of speed a 300hp engine can produce
I would definatly return to them to Part Ex the Bayliner in the close Future

After a Weekend at Sunny Hunny and watching so many off shore powerboats / Bayliners / Jetskis.
It looked fun but..... THeres not much to see
It cost £50 to lauch and recover this was done for you using a tractor.But after a few times up and down the costline at WOT they came back in.
Has anyone else been out to sea ?

This is Griffin Marine's slip Another of my favorite slips.
Its the Only Public one i know of in The Norwich Area which is usable.
There is a little road beside the Griffin Pub just outside Thorpe St Andrew.
A Sign Says " City Boats "
Go down the Lane and under the railway bridge.
Head towards the far left hand side of the large open space and then its the only boat yard in front of you.
Wide Wide Bayliner just gets through the bridge with about 3 inches to spare each side
Cost to launch and recover is £ 6.00 Parking is free but you do have to park in the large open space area.

IT was a real pleasure turning on a pin head in front of Wroxham Bridge and also Potter Bridge.
Being watched by many onlookers.
I took my time it must have looked like a elegant swan spinning slowly on the spot
The Engine had been restricted alot
I had many hire craft coming past me.
I think it revved up to 1800 RPM which was too noisy for a conversation.
So kept at 1200 Rpm all of the time ( this is when many others caught us up and overtook )
Operating from the Fly bridge was like nothing else i had experienced, My Daughter kept me company.
She loved the view overlooking all the other boats.
I must admit i also felt King of The Hill up there
-
Try this one
A Sealine 38 which is moored in the heart of Wroxham.
Standing out from the crowd. It has to be the ultimate hire boat on the Northern Broads
-
Sutton Staithe is one of my Favorites
This picture does not do it justice as it was taken when we had the floods of 2007.
Its a concrete Slip.
It costs about £ 6 to launch and recover a 18 foot boat, and that includes parking !
The Picture shows a Hire craft using the Pump out area.
The Slip is next the the boat yard, if the boat yard is closed just post the money though the letterbox in a envelope.
This slip is never locked.
It is signposted from the Stalham Bypass going towards Potter Heigham
