We draw 4' and we went hard aground on Heigham Sound whilst participating in the 2012 TRR we were not able to get off without using the engine and disqualifying ourselves but since the dredging we have not had a problem there or in getting up to Horsey. We transit most of the Broads network and the only No Go areas in the main Broads network for us are Catfield Dyke, Coltishall to Horstead Lock and West Somerton. It gets a bit interesting on the upper Ant to Dilham and at Gelderston.
When sailing you get to know where the shallow areas are but occasionally you hit something you are not expecting

As far as the RCC is concerned all boats with provisional handicaps are eligible to compete in races but are not given a place in the final results. However we are not able to enforce this on individual clubs who might take a different view. Personally I have not taken part in any races over the last few years where provisional boats have been given a place. The last race I competed in where this did happen was the YNR about 5 years ago but subsequently the rules were changed.

And you could still watch "super cruisers" race if they were in a different class. There are many who believe that there is much wrong withi not least the RCC handicap system. Golfing handicaps, anyone ?
Then there's the abominable 'provisional' stataus....
I will firstly admit that I am a member of the RCC committee and have been for the last 5 years .I have only been a cruiser owner for the last 8 years having bought a cruiser out of the hire fleet. I do not recognise your assertion of it being a" clique" and I would be interested in what you find "abominable about the provisional handicap system"

We also retired in the 3RR having done both legs and made it across Hickling and Back by 2.30am but did the calculation and realised we would not make Acle and back to Horning before cut off . We passed 3 of the Martham Yachts tacking up towards Potter Bridge as we motored back.

I have taken my Broads Cruiser up to New Mills several times and I draw 4 feet and the only time I went aground was when I went a bit too close to the sluices at the end of the navigation.

They retired at Thurne Mouth after doing the Thurne leg not sure why but suspect they had just had enough. We had just manged to get ahead of them after playing leap frog up to that point.

Hi, can I just clear this issue regarding Maffett's, please.
I spoke to Graham this morning as he is our boat engineer and we needed to arrange the service. We had spoken to Graham earlier this year to book us in his diary for once the boat went back into the water. So when I heard regarding this post I new I had to speak to Graham to double check if we had to look for a new boat engineer.
Graham has NOT stopped looking after Nanni engines, but he has been doing a large engine work / job, so he is running late starting on other work. As he works on his own, he has to prioritise who requested first.
Sorry to say, but if someone has only just request his service, then they will join the back of the queue.
Regards
Marina
I did not say Graham had stopped looking after Nanni engines.
He has looked after my boat for the last seven years winterising at the end of the season and then servicing the following spring he has also done quite a bit of other work for me and I have nothing but praise for his workmanship.
For the last seven years I have rung him a few weeks before I want to go in the water and he has always been available.
This year he just said he was not able to do it for me. Therefore I was asking for alternative recommendations.

Maffett's is who I usually use

Many thanks for that recommendation and moving forwards that might be an option as we normally moor at Coldham Hall. The problem this time is that I need some work doing before I can run engine as I am trying to cure a Diesel bug issue.
-
I am looking for a recommendation for a mobile engineer who could service my Nanni Diesel engine.
My boat is currently in Loddon and the engineer I have used for last few years has just informed me he is no longer able to do it.
Many thanks Kevin

I have used Norwich Plating Ltd 01603 403185 it was some time ago and I do not remember price but don't think it shocked me too much.

The Broad is owned By the Trafford Estate who also own Caen Meadow.
Probably not the best place to post it but just a warning that this weekend is the Start of Wroxham Week so the Broad will be quite busy.
