Interesting article on sail makers, Jeckells of Wroxham in Practical Boat Owner December issue. Even as a non rag and stick boater I found it informative.

Hi John, Normally I can recognize your non mod post, I was uncertain of this one as it was a subject you may have commented on as a mod, too many hats B-)

Thanks for the clarification Jonzo, very civilized.

I understood from a previous post by Admin that he was happy to help out with information being posted here, I thought that was a kind gesture and one that could need reciprocating in the future. Has that policy changed ?

Seems ok on a first read, a bigger impact for most private owners would be an above inflation rise in mooring fees.

Horses for courses Andy, I tend to visit both.

Might be part of the ongoing upgrade.

Keith, not enough posts, like me. At least this one counts to the total

Might be worth avoiding. The Chet on handover days, 40' of steel coming around the bends could be a challenge. 8-)

Martin, don't spoil a good rant by introducing hearsay :-D. The boys in blue probably can't use the new boat, I expect the nice new outboard was stolen earlier. A helicopter ! Good luck with landing that near the stolen boat, cars in attendance, !! Might be tricky to get to most areas of the river by road. What they need is a nice new boat......

Just had the parcel delivered, by the lady who delivers for Next. Very impressed.

I feel the need for speeeeed . B-)

Waiting for a delivery in the next few days, I had never heard of them before. Fingers crossed .

Perhaps he is what is sometimes referred to as a colourful local character.B-)

Very well explained Lucky, when i read the op I was wondering how to cover the response simply, I can stop thinking now

Brilliant idea, please if you do a pink princess version, can you do an enclosed helm and dark windows. Regards Mark

Great gadget, we use it on the windows and the shower, just don't use it on its side or with the blade down, it spits water out and becomes very unhappy. Regards Mark

Thanks NB.Net for hosting updates.

Someone has it in for broads forums at the moment. I look at all them and see many familiar names. Good to see support from this forum. Mark

My favourite was my first boat, then my second, then my third. My norfolk boat is a Topcraft topliner, pig ugly but just right for how we use her. We hired her the last year the yard was open and spotted it up for sale last year, at least we had a one week test drive before buying. Thought about swapping my Medway based Calypso for a second topliner but that plan got squashed by swmbo.

I'm not up until mid August, hope they leave access to the river front, hopefully the banging from the new build will be less than before.

Is that the collapsed pontoon or have they finally started the new areas.

Hi, On the river front, by the new build, are you by the main wetshed or the green shed ?

Hi Dan. G364, was last named R Joy. We renamed her when we moved her to the Medway.

Good afternoon, I have been reading the forum for a while and decided to start posting. I do like the new format. I have a Topcraft topliner, ( Whitey ) at Brundall Gardens and an ex Richardson's Calypso ( ellieknight ) on the river Medway at Yalding. I do like being afloat.:-D
