JamesLV Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Nice looking boat, Presuming a launch or day oat given the size, I seem to recall having seen something similar in one of the wet sheds heading Horning direction from Wroxham? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesLV Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think I saw the steamboat at Stalham staithe, trying to moor up/turn around in a Brinks Sonata on my first Broads trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to do anything inside a Brinks Sonata is virtually impossible. It was my first broads boating experience, being 6'3", there was two of us, plus a dog for a week, in hindsight it wasn't the most inspired choice of boats. I don't think I ever actually got inside the heads, certainly never managed a shower, used public facilities with swimming shorts, which got some strange looks, even from fellow boaties... still clearly enjoyed it though as I've been back ever since! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 James, do as I do, I'm 6ft 2' and regularly when on the Broads visit other boat yard and try other boats for size, all the yards are very welcoming a quick step aboard only takes a few minutes and can make or break a holiday choosing the right craft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesLV Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think I'm safe on the next trip, got Brinks Omega booked, however after that hiring may be less of a problem if plans come together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
