Happy Jax 3

Welcome to the forum Snowgoose Hope you have a great time on the Northern rivers, I haven't been up their for a couple of years now due to height restrictions and do miss it!!

I'm guessing you didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I am sure ES will look as stunning in the flesh as she does in the photos. Have a great weekend on board!!

Well Andy, Evening Star is looking fantastic, the blue hull certainly suits the Aquafibre 38. Our last boat Happy Jax 11 was built with a blue hull, unfortunately is was painted white before we purchased it.

Make that 4 for luck!!

Little Star!

Welcome to the forum Phil. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, there is a wealth of boating knowledge on here.

Fantastic David, really looking forward to the show..

Hi and welcome to the Forum. Haven't been there for a while. but we used to more in Summercraft's yard when we went to Wroxham.

Well done Clive, you have produced a great looking craft there. Have you thought of fitting one out with twin 250hp

We will be at OBYS on the Friday night then locking through on Saturday morning down to Hamilton, so easy access out for the airshow.

You have to wonder if the current hirer has even bought if to the attention of Richardsons.

We was speaking to a family in the Ship at Reedham on Sunday evening who told us that they saw Bolero go head on into the quayside on three separate occasions whilst maneuvering through Yarmouth on Sunday. They said it was bad, I didn't expect it to be that bad though. Ironically the people who told us were on one of Clives boats, the one that had the roof taken off when coming through Yarmouth last year.

Can't wait to see the finished product, it is going to look fantastic with the blue hull.

Blimey Andy, with that amount of fender's you will never get to see the newly painted hull.

Just to let you know Oulton Broad Yacht Station and Beccles Yacht Station has just introduced a loyalty scheme as a thankyou to every one who use's the yacht stations, for every 10 nights spent at either oulton broad or beccles you will get a night free, this can be at either yacht station and on any stay, see any of the harbour masters to collect a loyalty card.

You are right there Roy, just glad I looked in on the NBN or I would still be down on the pier.

All good intentions and all that, up bright and early, down on the pier at Lowestoft at 6.30am to catch a few pictures of Broads Ambition coming in. At about 7.25 had a quick look on NBN and see that Roy had posted up saying that they were now safe on Lake Lothing. I then drove up to Mutford Lock to catch them coming through. So here are a few shots as they came through the lock into OBY's Great to see Griff and the crew made it back safely, they did say they had a very uncomfortable night with wave heights approaching 8ft. Although very tired the crew were all very glad to be back on the Broads and ready for a big breakfast.

Just had a quick look on YachtWeather, they should have a reasonable sea state overnight with average wave heights of 0.60m from Southend up to Felixstowe, although as usual picking up to over a meter as they get towards Lowestoft, should be interesting for them. I will set my alarm in the morning and pop down to lowestoft with camera in hand to hopefully catch them coming in.

Thank you very much for the clips Carol.. I found myself shouting at the television at The BBC coverage, absolutely pathetic!!!

Very impressive indeed. Personally I would have ducked down a little earlier though.

Fantastic achievement, well done to Griff and the crew.

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy!!

I will have to make sure I have my camera ready when on that stretch of water, I just know it will be the day I don't it will come out to play.

Yes Paul, with a couple of modifications to the steering helmet went on a treat, all working fine thanks.

Looking great Paul, glad it all worked out well and your modification planned out well. She certainly is sitting nice ans square in the water now.
