Turnoar Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 It may have been mentioned earlier in the thread but I notice Windboats Lady Beryl II up on Apollo duck and also a Staniland that was stationed at Ludham for the war and rebuilt at Herbert Woods at some point later. Nice looking boats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizG Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Walked along the River Lea today between Rye House and Stanstead Abbotts. One presumed ex Broads cruiser moored by the bridge at Rye House, couldn't see any old numbering. At the Stanstead Marina, positively heaving with ex Broads cruisers. One was call Bahama Major 1 F44-8 I think it read Another probable Caribbean called Caribbean Adventure, also on the bank at least one other plus another Broads cruiser. All fairly distant - there was a very smart cruiser - not Broads but rather nice! The yard was very busy and full! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webntweb Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The boat in the last pic looks like one of Windboats' Concorde class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were the ones with the hulls made from seacrete I believe. Repairs by Polyfilla. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windboats 27 ....polyfilla has now been superseded by postcrete , a quicker and smoother finish.....not forgetting the chicken wire of course .

PaulN Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I took this picture in 2016 at Leigh Marina, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex which is on the Thames Estuary. I would not have thought this was a suitable boat for the location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Similarly this Horizon 35 is currently for sale at Portishead Marina (which is on the Severn estuary near Bristol). I saw it there myself a couple of years ago and it was odd to see an ex-Richardsons boat with an unchanged exterior in such a location. It looks like the interior has been chopped about though which I don't think does it any favours. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35ft-widebeam-cruise-boat-/333896404458?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I always wince when I see someone has removed a bulkhead in this way, in a lot of cases they are part of the boats structure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 This under the tarpaulin isn't a Broads boat but looks intriguing? Could it be wood? Seen yesterday on the River Stort navigation by the road bridge in Roydon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hideaway is now back on the broads and she was bought up under her own power by sea! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Pardon my ignorance, but is that type of boat likely to be a bit unstable at sea? I admire the bottle of the skipper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I certainly wouldn't want to take a broads craft with a single engine all the way up to Lowestoft from Leigh-On-Sea and I have a few thousand sea miles under my belt. However we are an Island Race and I would defend anyone's right to put to sea in any craft if they seem competent and accept the risks. No doubt the skipper of Hideaway is such a person. What would worry me most is the bottom of the fuel tank being agitated in a seaway. Attached is a photo of Leigh foreshore in a bit of a breeze. Good to know that Hideaway is back where she belongs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the wife's right I need a trip to spec savers. But totally agree totally unsuitable for the estuary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen yesterday on the River Stort navigation by the road bridge in Roydon It is wood, it was partially uncovered a few summers ago (I usually work in Bishops Stortford & travel into London by train a few times a week). The hull is painted white and the topsides are varnished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulN Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 High AndyG I presume you walk down the access road at the back of the cockle sheds like me, on your way to the Crooked Billet, The Peterboat, The Boathouse or The Smack (we're spoiled for pubs in that 200 yards). The photo is taken from the road, so next time you will no doubt recognise that gate post as you go past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed I do, I'm partial to a cheese roll and mug of tea in Osbornes before we start the very short but enjoyable pub crawl 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
