NeilB Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Just back from 4 days on a 70ft narrow boat and spotted this boat near Napton. I thought it looked a little Broads like and when we got closer noticed it had Herbert Woods written on the side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Great to see but what a shame that she's been sadly neglected and is now in dire need of a rebuild, poor old girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Canal locks are not kind to old woodies, especially the rear quarters. Lot of work but could with time and money be back here, where she belongs, looking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandenjg Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Looks like they've patched the corner with some Herbert Woods wood Branden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when on rivers like the gaggle of ex Broads cruisers we saw at Bishopsthorpe on the Ouse at York I felt sort of cheated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I would say it is an adjusted 'Starlight' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
