Why don't you go and have a look.. she's certainly a lot easier to maintain than that one you put an offer on before.. I'd happy spend a week every easter painting and varnishing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live locally and are regular users of the Broads and are looking for a wooden motor boat to enjoy with our family. I hope you receive this message as I notice your posting was some time ago. We can be contacted on ##### #### or ######## Look forward to hearing from you Andrew and Gina Hilton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malanka Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 As current custodians of Malanka, I can honestly say one other boat we would consider buyIng would be water rail, she is not modernized in the way that many are and has some beautiful quirky bits that I think are charming. Lovely boat superb history to go along with the boards and boaty stuff . We have Malanka because we didn’t want to get old saying WHAT IF, ten years later we are surely more educated and a lot less ignorant. Would we do it again. YES YES YES..... Good luck looking her over... Martin and Fiona 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetAnne Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Not for sale! As some of you know, Water Rail is now enjoying a new life on the Southern Rivers. She became mine last year at the end of the season and is just too damn gorgeous to part with. What I have done with her is to get others involved in using her (I hate to see boats unused, especially woodies) as well. Liz still has the use of Water Rail as and when she chooses and was supposed to continue her long tradition as guard ship on the now cancelled 3RR. Our own Grendel has some trips planned as soon as covid let's him. Water Rail may also be out as support vessel for Raisina should the racing season get started this year. In the meantime she is off to the salt side for some maintenance, a new survey, some updates and a good prodding and poking from the BSC man! It's all go when you're a famous woodie 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I am considering a 3 day working week as soon as i can manage, I just have one weeks hire of Jayne from Marthams all paid up last year to squeeze in too, I have 10 days unbooked holiday, so that should give me at least 5 long weekends afloat (on top of the three weeks already booked). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'm hoping to "have a look" at WR at some point too :) Maybe an overnight visit if we arrange and when the world is safe (and no one tells Orca).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Grendel, I ask this in open forum so all interested parties can see it. Would it be a good idea if the mods edited "is for sale" off the title of this thread? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
