The Bounty 37 possibly Woods also due to the roof lights Soaring light ex Corsair cruisers maybe

I agree. The navy blue stripe around the top of the hull is a Woods thing. I can't recall any other Bounty 37s that had the large sliding roof with the roof lights.

One of Kingfishers sisters?

Indeed looks like one of the 6 Golden Lights built mid/late 60s atleast 3 of which remain on the Broads I believe.

I know of at least 4 of the six built this makes 5 which is not bad for a 60’s wooden boat.

The Golden Lights are survivors it seems, I wonder if both those and the Crown of Light were all made of treated timber?

A £9.99 starting price ... the first bidder must have been hopeful for a real bargain !

So own up - anyone admit to bidding on this one ?

The boat formally known as Rockland is currently living it up on the Limehouse Cut

Ex Jaguar, you can just about make it out on the back by the bike. I said one for UncleMike because before he was called UncleMike, he was called Chameleon after he's boat and before that he was called Jaguar after a boat he hired often from Alphacraft.

I spotted this on eBay, not a million miles from the Broads. It was formerly Rio 4 at Horning Pleasurecraft and in the Thames fleet before that.

Nice to see the open plan layout, that must do wonders for the rigidity of the hull.

Believe it is not so bad on these as it would be on others as the floor goes in first with bulkheads afterwards plus no sliding roof helps.

Apologises if Im wrong.

Why, having had a peek at the eBay listing yesterday out of interest, has eBay emailed me today

That's it then, your email address has been noted.

I find Amazon the worst for sending items you may be interested in after taking a peek at something.

They're annoying, aren't they? I guess you can turn notifications like that off in your account settings somewhere.

I used to get an annoying email from Hoseasons every time I browsed their website saying "Is there anything we can help you with?" I felt like replying saying "No, of I want your help I'll ask for it." I think I managed to turn them off or unsubscribe.

I took this in Bristol today. If anybody can identify what it was on its former life I'll be impressed (I've no idea myself). The colour scheme is... individual.

Sure you can unsubscribe from them at the bottom of the email.

A Dutch person perhaps. 

[unclemike]

on ebay, go into account/account preferences/communication preferences, scroll to bottom of page,

where it says marketing communications/subscriptions click edit and remove ticks from boxes

It is the seller who asks Ebay to send offers and seller does not know your email address. Having been a business seller on Ebay for 16 years i send them occasionally for items that are hard to sell.
