Londonlad1985 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonlad1985 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRascal Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 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.

addicted Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 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. Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
