This is not speculation
I'm hopping mad about this. I have spoken directly with the owners of the vandalised boat. Photo's will be forthcoming as will more details once I have calmed down

Absolutely it's not speculation that the event happened, and it's sickening. Sign me up to find the perpetrators.
However it is speculation by a moderator (that will not allow speculation) that anglers were involved.

"the fact the fishermen had keep nets seems to indicate some sort of competition, or organised angling event, however it is still unacceptable to cause damage to a vessel that is within its rights to ask for a space to be made to moor up."
"any speculation here will be removed by the moderation team we will also not allow this to become a war between fishermen and boaters."
So the moderators can speculate, but no one else?
This will be deleted, I've no doubts, but while it's still here read the above two paragraphs, just think about it.

Tolls
in Broads Chat
Before I make any comment on the subject does anyone know what happens if you pay your toll in April then a month later decided to sell your boat or move it to another waterway.
Are you entitled to a refund?

Wise words indeed.
We are considering the 'finer points' but avoiding getting stuck under the bridges is most important. I agree, for the less experienced stick to the established guidelines. Hundreds must do it every year with thankfully few problems!
That's exactly it Noggy, you make the point more succinctly and with fewer words.

Wyndham, don`t know if you`ve heard of or tried these people.
Thanks Pumpy....I have heard of them and have a lovely 12v led table lamp on the boat after buying an expensive lamp from them, expensive but worth it if you see what I mean.
It does seem they have the size I need, but £29 each
.....I need 4.....£116 to solve a problem which doesn't really exist.
More carrots Mrs W.

........ mooring at London May be a problem!
I agree.
Can I just add to this thread and also related to the recent one about "when did people get scared"
If you are a relatively newbie to boating, reading this thread, or never been through Yarmouth before, just aim to get to Yarmouth at around or just after slack, going north or south and all will be fine.
The ONLY thing you HAVE to worry about is clearance under the bridges, if you're not sure call the Yacht Station.
The reason I made this post is that chat about the crossing, either way, is very interesting and informative and provides food for thought for all, but speaking from experience does worry some people unnecessarily. (sometimes too much information is a bad thing).
I just wanted to reassure the less experienced reading the forum that passing through Yarmouth is not a problem, and something to be enjoyed.

We took the bulbs out of the original light fittings on our boat and replaced them with LED panels or, in the case of the berth lights, direct LED replacement bulbs. No difference in external appearance, little difference in light output or quality but with much less drain on the batteries.
Not sure what an LED Panel is SteveO
57 minutes ago, oldgregg said:Old fittings can be a bit brittle from their age and the heat of the old incandescent bulbs which can make conversion a bit of a pain, but once done it makes a huge difference to the boat in terms of light and power consumption.
You are right and a couple of the light fitting covers have cracked a little.
We haven't found a direct led replacement for the fluorescent tubes in our fittings, about 24" long.
We could replace them all with new led fittings to save power but that's not cheap and we could probably add another battery for a similar price. Anyway, despite them taking a short time to warm up the old fluorescents do have a comfy feel.

Of course friendly, it's the only thing I know. ( but not quite as friendly as you infer MM

I don't think it would do the Salhouse turf much good either.
A worm would do more damage to the turf than a NBN tug of war.

Ah... so Howard, ( is that Norfo;lk Nog?) is confusing himself about bits and licking posts without first getting Bletchley involved.
This has got Putin written all over it, don't trust him. anyone with his knowledge of Norfolk pubs is up to something, and that Gayfire is in on it too.

On the Broads I mean,
I've never moored at Irstead, despite having the opportunity, must do it soon.
Never been canoeing, fancy that too, and sailing, never tried it but would like a go.
Next month we've also promised ourselves a walk from St Bennets to Ludham Bridge and from How Hill to Ludham Bridge, both firsts.
How about you?

Couple of points there, white ex hire boats sell much more readily into the private market and Basil Fawlty at the Waters Edge will welcome you with open arms!

Talking to yourself NN? You're either mad or a genius who knows to get the correct answers to your questions.

We are trying to keep our Broom Skipper as original as possible, even the 1970's light fittings are staying. The original fridge sadly is going to have to go as we cant get it to work.
We're the same Lulu but some things just have to change. We have so far resisted the temptation to change all the light fittings to LED

Very true but regretfully some owners seemingly make no effort whatsoever to learn!
I'm not so sure they make no effort to learn but that they don't realise the need to learn, same thing I suppose but I feel a circle coming on as in.... "It's the way it is and always will be"
-
You know that phrase " Classic Broads Cruiser", it refers to or implies wooden boat, well in my head it does, and rightly so. They are slowly dying out and to keep some running for many years can only be good.
So without splitting hairs on the definition of classic, could any GRP boat ever be described as "Classic" and be offered with the same love as is directed to the woodies?

And what's on the bank can be considerably influenced by the strength of wind.
We've pretty much worked out what they're gonna do now. but never forget, not all sailies are experienced and will give directions and not all mobo helms will have a clue what to do even if pointed at.
It's the way it is and always will be. We were all learners once.

Just A Heads Up- Boat Damaged At Neatishead
in Speakers' Corner:

Fair enough, heads up, semantics, but I called you out for doing exactly what you call others out for. If your main intent was a heads up, stick to that, no speculation.
Anyways, it's no secret I don't agree with the way the site is moderated, that's my problem, but I do understand you all do what you think is best, so I genuinely wish you all a happy new year.
Apologies for derailing a very serious situation.
