Guess Where?

[vanessan]

Is it one of Herbert Woods ‘Lights’? Shaft of Light or Spark of Light?

[webntweb]

No it wasn't a Woods boat then, then it was, now it isn't but they still have one.

[jeffbroadslover]

Could it be Pearl of Light ?

I only know the old boats made out of proper materials.

If God had meant us to build Fibreglass boats, he would have made Fibreglass trees.

[webntweb]

Not that one Jeff.

[webntweb]

It was originally from a Northern riverfront boatyard and brand new in 1985/6, but it was moulded in the South.

I'll have a go at Glistening Light then

I think I might know the answer but the port hole is confusing me......

[webntweb]

No, Jeff

Have a go, if it's not correct i'll give you another clue.

[WherryNice]

Seems like an Alphacraft to me, possibly Queen of Light?

[webntweb]

Spot on Wherry Nice but what was its original name?

[VetChugger]

Could it be "Meadow Saffron"??

PS. Love these quizzes when they involve boat identification. Can still spend hours wandering around Craig's marvellous pages!

Certainly is VetChugger

And here's a pic showing the porthole. It's in the twin cabin in which the beds go under the cockpit - pretty claustrophobic. When the canopy is back the porthole is completely hidden except for a tiny part of the chrome surround.

Which boat is my daughter on?

Its 1986, there were quite a lot of this model of boat in hire fleets. There is still at least one on hire today.

This one is still around in private ownership. 

Anybody remember Jaws?

What's the name of the boat next to Meadow Saffron?

[jeffbroadslover]

For some reason the name Kestral comes to mind

Jeff

Almost jeff

[MauriceMynah]

Broadland Kestrel?

[JanetAnne]

Blue Kestrel

Built by Leo Robinson and taken when in Jimmy Toplis  Topcraft cruisers fleet

I could tell you a tale about her but it's all very embarrassing 

[webntweb]

No MM.

Correct JA.

I don't mind being embarrassed.

I almost bought "Blue Kestrel" as my first boat many many moons ago, It was the work that she needed that drove me away.
