Hi Everyone,

I thought I better sign up! I got hooked last year hiring 2 boats in June and September and have 3 booked this year already! Looking forward to Easter Weekend on a budget taking out San Rafael from Richardson's and to meeting some of you out on the water! 

Anything fun happening this Easter on the northern broads I should take a look at?

Welcome Londonlad,  you are hooked now. 

[Londonlad1985]

Thanks Griff, I have seen a few of his videos (also staring your good self it would appear). I'm in half a mind to do a bit of a comedy parody to be honest "LondonScallywag" anyone?

Welcome to the site,

 Now you may find this a hazzard or wish to watch but....

Weather permitting, Horning Sailing Club should be sailing from Horning to Thurne Lion Dyke on Monday 17th April. This is normally starts  around Horning Ferry at 10:30  arriving Thurne sometime about 12:00-1300. The return race starting at Thurne Dyke about 14:00. It should be several fleets of boats from dinghies to big sailing cruisers  up to a total of 30 boats, starting in half dozen boat fleets at five minute intervals, The best place to moor and watch would be St Benets straight or the church moorings Horning.

Sounds great thanks! If the weather is good it would make a great spectator sport! Better than manoeuvring through them all!

Pops head up and says hello

There may be only room for one Rascal (I'm a wide load) but plenty of space for a scallywag

Hello! Duly noted!  Your videos are ace by the way keep up the good work!

Morning Londonlad and welcome on board.

We had three boats last year as well but are weaning ourselves off it a little this year due to needing funds diverted in other directions. Have a great time at Easter ... it's not very far off now.

[Boaters]

Welcome from the two of us ,enjoy.

[addicted]

Welcome to the forum from me also,  there's every possibility that you'll find the forum addictive as well as the boating. I've been addicted to boats since my first owned boat 30 years ago. Never hired in this country only on the Canal du Midi in France, which we  absolutely loved. Hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Aaargh! Stinkies head for the pub!

On Saturday 15th there will be a number of big sailing cruisers being launched at Thurne Dyke, from whence they will spread out to their various home moorings

Can you get torpedo tubes and torpedoes from Ebay or Amazon? I wonder.

Friendly banter. At least I think somewhere it is friendly.
