webntweb Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 July 64 again and the crew of one of Richardsons biguns having a little trouble with their dinghy. I like the optimism of the lad with the bucket baling the dinghy. Didn't think they allowed stern on mooring though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webntweb Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hippersons' original boatyard at Puddingmoor, Beccles in Sept 66. One of their craft moored outside and a couple of their houseboats on the left behind a Ripplecraft. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webntweb Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 One of Southgates? yachts being passed by a Hearts? cruiser. Potter Heigham Sept 66. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My first thought was a Herbert Woods Twilight but they may have been running out of Southgates by then, hence a red star on the sail and not a blue one. The Hearts cruiser is the Ace of Hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webntweb Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 A282 at How Hill Sept 66. Craig's website lists it as Sheyenne from Alan Johnson Boats, Acle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I was about to say that's an iconic Broads view that's completely unchanged but then I noticed there was no quay heading in those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webntweb Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Simon, I'm wondering if the pic isn't misleading. Looking at the position of the wind pump, I think the view may be of the bend before the one at the moorings. Here's one of the moorings, showing a low quay heading. Also one of the other end of the moorings showing the quay heading. And another one showing that the made up moorings didn't go as far as they do now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteBelham Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Our Judith taking up in October after being in the shed for a few years. She'll be back in the water in March ready for the season to start. She use to be Judith 2 at Martham, if anyone has hired her and has photos it would be nice to see them.

Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app The survival rate of Martham Judith's is actually pretty good. With Maggie Jane, Judith M and Judy all going strong with their original raised decks and Judith Windmill and the two still in hire representing the later modified versions I reckon thats 6 still in existance, all of which will be afloat next season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 By the way, I had the chance to return Chloe Jane (now back in my ownership) to the broads last week. A damp and misty Monday greeted us at Windsor a few days ago where she was carefully loaded and secured for her return journey to familiar waters. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks like one of the old Aston Cairn / Lion classes. We had a screen saver of one of them along with "Telscombe", another real old classic moored in Upton boat basin. which was taken about 2005 ish.

BroadAmbition Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Vintage Wooden boat show / Gathering. 10/11th Aug. However most of us meet up at OBYS Friday for a cruise in company down Beccles on the Saturday. You should contact Dave (Janet Ann) requesting a mooring / slot etc as it is his baby. There is a thread running in here somewhere or t'other re this years gathering and the classic boat magazine that featured Dave's event. Hope this helps, Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
