Sam Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that we have decided to buy the Alphacraft 42 dual steer called SkyHawk (see boats for sale). Paul at Swancraft has a lot of work to do but hopefully we will be out and about on her by mid May. Please give us a wave if you see us on the river. We are Vern and Sally-Ann with our dogs Tigra, Tiny and Holly. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 welcome Mid may, thats just about when the forum meet happens - it would be lovely to meet you if you are in the area around those dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 welcome Mid may, thats just about when the forum meet happens - it would be lovely to meet you if you are in the area around those dates.Don’t know if we will be in the north by then. Some serious practicing will be needed first. It’s 20 years since we last had a boat and SkyHawk will be a challenge for a while. However, don’t rule us out yet. Might be able to pick her up earlier.Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham47 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 We were one of the first to hire Skyhawk from AlphaCraft. An excellent boat with plenty of room. Dual steering was a bit of a novelty on hire boats at that time. I hope you enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hi Sam Only just seen your post, hope that you are enjoying your boat now that we are released from lock down. We bought our boat from Paul at Shadow Boats (Swancraft) and don't regret it, he is honest. knowledgeable and reliable. We only let Paul maintain her, as he built the boat originally and is always there to offer advice. Happy Broads Boating Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi Paul We like Paul at Swancraft too. He’s done all the work on SkyHawk and we’re really happy with everything. Sorry I took so long to reply. Sally-Ann 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
