Pacific Grayling

[Broads01]

There is a new 2-4 berth that comes up on the Pacific Cruisers availability search, priced the same as Pacific Emerald. There's no details of the boat yet elsewhere on the website - does anyone know any details?

Hi Simon

I would imagine that it is the boat I mentioned in this thread:

Good to hear that it is now up and running.

Well the little tinkers, teasing us like that!

It got too much... I emailed Pacific and they have confirmed she is a Bounty 27 Sedan, like this http://www.bountyboats.co.uk/27sedan.html details should be on the website soon

All the best

Oooh look, the details are on their website now and it is the one that was for sale at Wroxham.

Looks a nice little boat, good to see several good internal shots and a nice one of the outside too.

Nice! Tidy interior and good to see they've kept things simple by pricing the same as both Swift and Emerald. At £325 per week including damage waiver for a week low season you can't go wrong.

It certainly does look very good! I think Richard was hoping that it might prove to be quite popular as an out of season hire.

Does anyone know what the air draft on these is?

I don't know exactly Carol but I've got a feeling it's low enough to squeeze under Wroxham Bridge if conditions were right.

I'm guessing the Bounty 27 sedan was a kind of limited edition version of the much more common aft cockpit (a la Pacific Swift). There used to be more of them on hire at one time (I recall Swan Craft having one) but I think Sandersons have the only other one now.

I remember seeing "May Time" stuck under Wroxham once, so they definately will go under with the right clearance, though I think having seen that it might have put me off!

They were adapted/designed from the 27ft aft cockpit model and had the same hull. Blue Line had quite a lot of them in France and a reasonable number were made but a much smaller percentage than than the aft cockpit model which I guess were much cheaper for a similar size of accommodation. The Sedan was the elite version I suppose

I've had one through Wroxham bridge before, but that was back in the 80's

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

The only reason you like them Jimbo is because they look like "Inca`s had a baby", am i right or am i right, go on Jimbo, admit it, i bet i am? .

[jimbo]

Got me!

Here she is earning her keep

hi jimbo, past her last week she was just comming off breydon at burgh castel. looked very smart not my kind of boat but very smart. hope she does well for the yard.

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

Hi all, i`ve just found out (maybe Dan already knew and was keeping it a secret ) that as well as Grayling, Pacific cruisers have another "new to the fleet" boat in Pacific Star. She`s a Bounty 40, and looks rather like one of the old "Rexmore" class that was in Norfolk boatsales brokerage. It`s always good news to hear the smaller "independant" yards are able to invest in the industry in these trying times. Good news all round i think?. Regards ..................... Neil.

Quite an impressive addition that one eh

Great to see the expansion and improvement

I very much like the look of Pacific Star from the Pacific website- from the colour scheme it looks certain to be ex-Rexmore.
