Wherry on the Waveny.

Oulton Broad.

I can find no evidence either way. I suppose a winch aft would provide a substantial, adjustable back stay for the square rig. I did see Dee Dah when she was being excavated but regretfully took no photos, I left that to others. I have no recollection of a winch either end but your impression is an interesting one.

Iken church, like many a very English English church. The church in the painting does appear to have a spire which has thrown me. I haven't been to Iken for at least twenty years, lovely place.

The fly in the ointment regarding that picture is that the painter has clearly identified the picture as being The Broads but your suggestion is good.

More importantly it makes life harder for those of us under sail .

Welcome, the more the merrier! Thanks for joining in.

I'm not convinced that there isn't a degree of artistic license involved. The composition is almost too successful, adhering to the theory of the 'golden ratio' a treat. Effectively a text book composition, creativity doesn't always truly reflect reality!

Not a great surprise but nevertheless sad. A great credit to both his generation and his country. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-55881753

Naaa, it's not on a hill and the river is surely too wide!

Perhaps! What continues to surprise me is the length of the 'prop' trench. Surely common sense would have suggested that the noise of the mud & debris being churned up was not good, that neutral would have been more sensible? Might not going astern have been worth considering?

This one has got me stumped, where is it? Painted by John Reginald Goodman, it looks Broads to me but I can not place that church, can you?

Rightly or wrongly I get the impression that many youngsters appear to feel uncomfortable with simple terms like 'thank you', 'after you' or simply 'sorry'.
