RS2021 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 In the 1970s I had three holidays on Caribbeans - all on the Thames. When I eventually made it to the Broads a couple of years ago I was expecting to see many of these Frank Wilds classic GRP boats as the broads were their home. I appreciate there are none left in hire, but thought many would now be in private hands. In a whole week on the northern broads I only spotted the rear end of one tucked up the back of a marina in Horning. I saw Bermuda's even Calypsos, plenty of the contemporary Bounty Buccaneer 37s and you can't go anywhere without seeing a Hampton Safari, but where are all the Caribbeans? I'm back again next year. Can anyone tell me where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Probably anywhere in the UK except the Broads!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 There is a Caribbean 42 mk111 called So High still around. Saw it myself a couple of weeks back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Know of one down south. Try looking in Craigs database, see when they were last seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helian Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 There are a few, I think, around, on the middle Thames. I saw a couple last week between Staines and Sunbury. Also at least one live aboard that seems to linger around Brundall. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
