NorfolkNog Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Well absolutely. Different yards have used different winding arrangements too. We hired them extensively from Swancraft and never had a problem, similar with Bridgecraft (touch wood) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want atleast 50hp if not more in a boat this size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree, the engine seems very small indeed, I'd be very wary of going up the Bure against the ebb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaniaman Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 PM have you looked at Le boats brokerage. There`s a connoisseur, tamaris (aquafibre?) and a westward for sale but its France. All 30k ish euros. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgregg Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Always quite a few there, yeah http://www.leboatbrokerage.com/view-our-boats-for-sale/ Tamaris is indeed an Aquafibre Sapphire 32 (similar to the Broom 9/70 and 32), as is Lake Star. That Lake Star is a Broom fitout, whereas the Tamaris looks like a Darragh build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Thanks Paul, I had a look at the start of my search but didn`t understand how you could buy unless you went to France to view and then didn`t see how you brought the boat back here tbh which all seemed a lot of hassle.

OldBerkshireBoy Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Tamaris looks nice in the photos, excuse El Thicko here but which one is the Connoisseur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBerkshireBoy Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 From France? That has to be a few £`s, it is around 600-800 from Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 True but if you saved a few grand on the deal it could be worthwhile. I believe these guys do a fair bit of continental work. Just a thought. Mind you with all this Brexit palaver I doubt if the exchange rate is much good at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve met Simon a few times and he’s a top guy. Often does runs across Europe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
