JanetAnne Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Help!! Being a forgetful old sod, I have just managed to arrive home without my old Blake's/Hoseasons catalogues for the third time What I needed them for was a plan of Royal Tartans interior. Knowing there are many of you with collections of such catalogues, can anyone scan in Tartans plan and get me out the preverbial? Tartan is currently under restoration hence the need. Thanks peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetAnne Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 She is proving to be one of those more involved restorations... 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Mouse Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 She's definitely open plan at the moment. If I lived a little closer I would be tempted to do a restoration. But 2.5+ hours each way means you can't just go and do a couple of hours work when time allows.

wombat nee blownup Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I would say that's roughly on a par with rebuilding a classic car with only a hubcap to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I do hope the interior will be upholstered appropriately., As subjects of HM The Queen, anyone can use this one. Royal Stewart. You won't get this second tartan without permission of HM The Queen. Balmoral tartan designed by Prince Albert in 1853. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I reckon you have all walked by her over the time. She used to be laid derelict outside Princess Cruisers so you would have passed her alongside the footpath from Pyes Mill to Loddon. She had been there at least 10 years, maybe more. She was only moved to her current location in August 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app Long distance restoration is hard, however, chucking the bloody thing on a lorry, taking it home (or local) and bringing it back done is a perfectly achievable and very cost effective option. Here's Janet Anne arriving in Hertfordshire. Broad Ambition went to Yorkshire and back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Chucking the bloody thing on a lorry, taking it home (or local) and bringing it back done is a perfectly achievable and very cost effective option. Isn't it just. Broad Ambition went to Yorkshire and back... She did too. We spent over 8'500 man hours actually working onboard 'B.A' in our designated 'Boat Shed in Blaxton. That was just to get her back to Norfolk minus engine / gearbox etc. The 'Boat Shed (A former engine railway shed) was about a five minute drive for me from home. If we had to add on a 7 x Hr round trip plus needing accommodation / tool storage etc it would not have been possible. Of that there is no doubt Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 How many more pallets do you need to finish her off? how much original wood etc will be left? That looked a mammoth job? And they are extinct!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 well if you use the parts as patterns, you could build it with new wood probably quicker. that said, Timbo is good at boat rebuilding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I really have to admire all you 'classic broads cruiser' restorers, out there. I would have taken one look, shook my head and walked away, totally unable to see a boat among the firewood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
