  1. Yes, River Cruiser Class open at EACC this weekend
  2. This happened to me and it was rather frightening. Only managed to stop engine when a friend covered air intake. In retrospect not the safest thing to do. After spending quite a bit on trying to get engine working again gave up and invested in a new Nanni.
  3. Just a heads up that this weekend is the Breydon Regatta, with racing taking place on Breydon on Saturday and a passage race from Breydon to Reedham and back on Sunday.
  4. I think the are you are describing is what is known as Slot's Hole next to Malthouse lane (or hill) which is the track that goes up from the Castle Moorings The following is an extract from the Wroxham history website https://wroxhamhistory.wordpress.com/ Which is a great site if you are interested in the history of Wroxham. Since the 1950s photograph of the Caen Meadow appeared on the cover of the August 2016 edition of The Bridge magazine there has been some dispute about Nick Walmsley’s reference to “Slot’s Hole”, the more common name for Malthouse Hill – with local old-timers claiming it to be Sotts Hole or even Shotts Hole. Checking the 1871 census returns for Wroxham [transcribed by Rose French for the St Faiths District in August 2000] I found it listed against William Ives, 23, malster, and others who lived or worked there, as Sotts Hole
  5. Unfortunately our race finished prematurely when tree jumped out and hit us! We were going fairly well up to that point having done both legs and making it slowly through Potter where the tide was ebbing very strongly
  6. The only thing I would add regarding filling tank is, I have learned to only fill to top of stainless steal tank not to top of filler pipe otherwise I find that as the weather warms up diesel comes out of my fuel tank breather and makes a mess of my painted deck and then runs down the hull.
  7. small shed at the end of the site was being used by the Floating Bike company
  8. I have the engine serviced and winterised including new primary and secondary fuel filters and I top the fuel tank up,
  9. Fairly certain that when I moored there a while ago,when the Yacht station was open I had to pay
  10. I know not on the list but just a recommendation for Hewitt & Grant in Coltishall. A little walk from the moorings or a bit closer if you can get up to the lock.
  11. I can recommend the icey-tek range again not the cheapest but their boxes and blocks work really well https://www.coolboxesuk.com/collections/icey-tek-cube-boxes
  12. Might be a bit long but looks really nice https://classicboats.apolloduck.co.uk/boat/martham-boats-silver-jubilee-for-sale/576195
  13. Yes worth joining even if just to get a Green Book posted to you which probably covers most of the cost of membership.
  14. As has been previously said probably better to follow Government guidelines. So March 29th works better for me as I can take a few days off over Easter to get boat ready to go in.
