Thanks Robin for the heads up. I’ll make sure it’s supported properly in the morning. I must say it look pled in very good order once I pumped about a tonne of water out of the bilge.

That would be useful. Where is he?

It’s all good. I’m a boatbuilder here at Upton. It won’t be too difficult to make one up. It all needs replacing anyway. The last owner used skirting board by the look of it! 😂

It’s come from Weston Super Mare to Upton. The intention is to bring it back to its former glory.

She’s landed!

Thank you for this. The photo shows white emblem 3 so I guess it could be around that time 1968. The internal layout is the same so promising. I’m super pumped about getting it back up and running!

That’s great Graham. Thank you. Do you have any photos? I want to get it back as original as possible if I can.

It was White Emblem 4 apparently. Now called Rafferty but had the registration D135…..

Hello all and thank you for adding me. I have just bought an Ernest Collins Bourne 35 with my Dad and will be restoring it over the next period of time. I think it was built in 1968 and sold to a private buyer in 1985-1987. After that it was deregistered in 1991. The boats of the Norfolk Broads website sadly has no information about her or the White Emblem boats. Could anyone offer any suggestions as to how I could find out some information or photos? many thanks in advance.
