And more news i have spoken to 2 previous owners tonight and have more background on her. She was definately on the broads in her early days at some point, so need to find out more from that time

i couldn't find an interactive technical i have emailed the uk sales rep a few days ago but he hasn't replied yet

in a previous post on here i was told to use 2 pack?

Going to paint my boat with 2 pack international perfection. I gather i will need 2 pack undercoat but will i need a specific primer / barrier coat before the undercoat most of the boat has been painted with something before and is flaking off so i will have to get all the flakes off and rub it right back there is also a bit of original gelcoat but that has loads of deep scratches that will need filling

well i took delivery of her today finally been a long 7 days waiting to have her delivered. GMR done the delivery with the use of his Hi-Ab he put it straight onto my trailer, which is where she'll sit while i restore her. Terrific chap and highly recommend him (apart from he went off with the boat keys so he's having to post them to me lol) she's a big ol boat esp on my little trailer which is only 6' wide so plenty of 4x4 posts holding her up until i can get the telegraph post out of the brambles or get some acro props

Okies so i've just bought a boat made by Eastick's of Acle as far as i can gather they shut down in the 80's i know alot of these boats used to be on hire on the broads but not sure if mine went straight to the Thames as thats where it was last registered. i'm trying to find out more information about these boats and in paticular the 1 i have The name i have on the boat is Jane Anne sometimes on some paperwork it's Jane Ann also alot of paperwork it's down as an Eastwick they are very sinilar to the hampton safari's but slightly longer and slightly wider So far i have contacted and drawn blanks at Broads Authority Museum of the broads BSS Thames authority Museum suggested that Easticks had gone into partnership with Welpton and they were still at Acle Dyke But the only one i could find was Eastwood Welpton and the owners bought it 3 years ago after Mr Welpton died (5 years ago) so a blank there also. I managed to find an old one for sale on Norfolk boatshed but that is the only 1 i have found on the interweb. I am in contact with someone who owns 1 and he knows someone else in Norwich who has 1 also. But neither of them know alot about the actual boats. thanks

i have full access to under bow, there is a chain hole thing there already and it's a broads boat so it'll go no problem. full restoration project

complete thing

is it good? how much and where are you? thanks

I'm after a windlass ( i think thats what they're called) to winch my mudweight up if anyone has one pls give me a shout

anyone know where i can get a door made for my boat pls? it has a horrid warped peeling ply door at the minute but being slim and short i can't get anything off the shelf thanks

thanks for that, thats interesting as it states 1500cc engine and the forsale listing says 1800 also so quite a few discrepancies wrong boat wrong size wrong engine

probably not the same one then as this one is called Jane Anne annoying news though as i know the HS go for around 15K i'm buying this one for 5.5K as a resto project as it's quite rough, and expecting to spend at least another 5K on her and just spoke to boatshed who said they had 1 for sale for well over a year and ended up reducing the price from 14 to 7K as it didn't sell

this one is called Jane Anne (for now) i presume that was her name from new altho not sure

you don't remeber the name do you? or number as this one was on the thames

funny you say that Vanessa we have just found 1 very similar and it's a falcon 26 https://norfolk.boatshed.com/falcon_26-boat-207640.html next question is are they worth the same sort of money as a hampton safari?

just found this pic on my phone of it when it was surveyed in 2010

Hi i'm in the process of buying a boat. the seller has it advertised as a hampton safari mk1 they say it is an Eastwick variant however i can't find anything anywhere about it. but it is very similar to a classic although all the classics i've seen are wood topped this is all fibreglass i've attached a couple of pics she was in hire before going onto the thames i can't remeber the number she had there off hand but her name was/is Jane Anne any help appreciated pls

Hi do you ever have any boats like you 10 seater day boat for sale pls?

not a chance on the southern broads, the mobile signal ranges from non existant to non existant lol

can anyone advise a good fm radio aerial for use around the broads pls on my boat. i have a rubber thing and i can't seem to pick hardly any stations up only the big ones like radio 1, 2 but even then it fades out all the time

very thin foam, i have tried a cushion no good, i've also just added an extra 2" of foam so i'll give that a try

it's this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Supergain-Ballade-TV-Antenna-DVBT-TNT-12V-Boat-RV-Camper-Caravan/222701650012?hash=item33da0d805c:g:~hEAAOSwUoNZ-bPM as you can see it can't be moved :(

it is an omni directional one so you don't have to move it anywhere

thats a kool idea trouble is our boat is only 20' so they'd prob weigh it down too much
