Herbert Woods Ray Of Light

[Cal]

Has anybody hired or cruised one of the Herbert Woods Ray of Light class boats?

There is one for sale that we could be interested in going to have a look at and we would welcome any thoughts on the layout, boats size, handling, etc.

Thank you in advance.

We've hired this and had it for a fortnight, we found it a really nice boat, I have a fair few pics if I knew how to upload them lol

I'm just trying to remember the layout inside, will have a nosy at Alan's link.

Ah yes, one person in the galley at a time please lol that was my rule anyway, can be tricky passing through that area if someone is cooking, the bow cabin the beds are quite high from what I remember but we had 2 weeks on board where my late Step Dad managed with his mobility issues at the time, big thumbs up from us.

Thank you.

We are used to the one person in the galley at a time with our current boat.

Only comment I would make is be mindful of the height limitations. "Might" get under Ludham Bridge??

I can't remember if we ventured up that way or not during our 2 weeks but was afloat the other week watching Richo's tallest and finest get through

The air draft will be fine for where we plan to keep it.

Quoted air draft, which we will obviously check is 7'8". The lowest of the bridges we will need to negotiate is 8ft with most well over 9ft.
