ChrisB Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hi Lucy, Your boat was built in my old stomping ground of Chichester Harbour. The vast majority of Dell Quay Dorys were just that, open dorys. I seem to remember that when they introduced the cuddy like yours they named it The Fisherman. I wish you many happy hours afloat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annv Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hi Lucy you might find a small mud weight useful. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Welcome Lucy - never seen a DQ dory with a lid on. I had an 8' one to get out to a trot mooring on the Deben - very clever "un-tippy" boats,mine was a hoot with an outboard on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I, running with the tide, and against a half gale and with a slightly too big outboard accelerating hard got everthing just right or wrong and "Donald Campbell" ed one. Very sobering seeing whole boat pass over your head, the 5 gallon fuel tank falling would have done for me if it had got me. Treated it with a lot more respect after. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breydon Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi and welcome to the forum. I Googled "volcano bolt lock" for you and there are all sorts of places selling them from Ebay to Amazon and various chandlers. They are not cheap at around £60-£70 each but very effective in deterring thieves. Its a good idea to register your engine with Norfolk Police and mark it up with Smart Water or other security products of that ilk too. Happy cruising! That looks a very roomy little craft for its size especially with the canopy up. Just make sure that if you are cruising with the canopy up you allow a few open studs at the front and possibly the back fully open to blow out any engine fumes. It is better to take on half a pint of rainwater than make yourself ill with the fumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info yes saw them on eBay was just hoping for cheaper but I suppose you can’t but a price on stopping thieves! Ok that make sense I’ll let my hubby know Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
