This would certainly be of great interest to us and I'm keeping an eye on their Facebook page from hereon.
Mind you, we hired a day boat from there summer before last, and that road down to the site is a nightmare for anyone who gets nervous around single track lanes with passing places ... it seemed to go on forever!
You aren`t joking! Was on that road a couple of days back in a Transit size van, seemed like 4 miles long.

Thanks, spoke to them around then when this idea/ dream first entered my head, wasn`t sure if there had been more recent developments.

Hi Violeta and welcome. As already mentioned, you could try WRC as James recently gained planning permission for residential moorings.

Have a bottle of Mulled wine a customer gave me, willing to donate that to the mod team as I can`t stand the stuff myself.

I have just moistened myself. A firenza with a droop snoop!!! 17 yr old dreams.
that still looks gorgeous today
and with twin Delortos. Better than Webber’s. Ooh I’m going to upset the ford boys now.
That takes me back to a certain Mr Gerry Marshall and the flame spitting exhaust of good ol touring cars.

Pumpmedic, There isn't a member on this forum who doesn't need to "get out more" but if we're out we can't post. If we can't post we can't chat to each other. If we don't chat, we get lonely, and if we get lonely all we can do is go out to the pub and actually meet people.
Now, be fair, would you really want to inflict US on the general public?
Well if you put it like that ...............

If that was in response to the post above it then all I can say is maybe you need to get out more.

That is one nice looking boat. If it or one like it come on the market now then please let me know.

I would expect that to be a fossil fuel powered set-up in case you get caught short. Word of warning, I have seen some appalling DIY installations especially where the exhaust is concerned, even on premium boats.
Like a petrol generator but onboard?
That would make sense, saw one with a chimney.
-
As some will know I am looking at boats and from time to time I see "Generator onboard", are they talking about an electrical generator to charge batteries from shore power rather than through running the engine?

Not my strong point but I'm learning!
There is a 12v table lamp on my new boat that doesn't work (it is the type with a bar switch that you press as part of the bulb holder)
The bulb looks OK, the cable disappears into the bowels of the boat. If necessary I'll pull up flooring etc to find where it goes and/or try a new bulb anyway.
However as I have one of those screwdrivers with a light in the handle to detect current it seems I should try that first. So do I just remove the bulb and touch the screwdriver to terminals in turn with the switch in both positions? Or what?
Thanks for any advice that stops me doing something silly :)
Please put the screwdriver back in the toolbox.
One of these will find any signs of current in a cable, very useful this time of year for finding where the fault is in Christmas tree lights.
There are cheaper and more expensive versions around however Fluke is a recognised brand in electrical testing equipment.

Second hand boat prices do tend to be a tad, or even more, inflated on the Broads.
Thanks for posting, for the record I went with sad icon because having worked hard for my £`s I don`t like giving them away. lol.
