Geezercdg Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I really need advice. I’m in the process of buying my first boat and have seen a really nice Freeman 27 but it won’t go under the bridges above. Is this a deal breaker and do you think I should opt for one that does? Would I miss much if I couldn’t ? Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hello Geezercdg, Welcome to the forum. At the moment I would hold off buying any boat in the current situation, boatyards and mooring may be closed shortly, there may be travel restrictions. This could last for up to 3 months or longer. I would address your dilemma in the near future, these days very little gets under Potter Heigham and I have known Freeman 25's owners that have not been able to get back to their home moorings above Ludham Bridge because of the tides.

MauriceMynah Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If it won't go under Ludham Bridge it won't go under Wroxham either, so that rules out a great deal of the prettiest waterways on the northern waters. Personally I wouldn't touch it. Sorry! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 or beccles which does the same for the south. Dont worry if a boat wont go under Potter heigham, most wont, but you would really want to be able to do Ludham Wroxham and Beccles bridges. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
