OldBerkshireBoy Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Heard on the water that a mooring might be available soon at Swancraft. Would suit a 30-35ft broads type boat with a thruster to aid getting in and out Yard has shore power, pump out, diesel, gas facilities, workshop for repairs and maintenance and cctv, also hear adding wi-fi connection is being considered. As we know these don`t come up often and Paul on 01603 712632 is the man to talk to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 'Bow Thruster'. In mopo a boat with a bow thruster in the wrong hands is more dangerous than a boat without one in the right hands! Sorry but I think true. Goodnight! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Did they mean ‘mobo’? = motor boat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Probably. I've been in and out of Swancrafts yard numerous times, both as a very happy hirer and latterly as a visitor. It's tight but no more so than most yards. I can see what OBB means - a bow thruster makes the job easier but there certainly shouldn't be any problems. One thing I can guarantee - it will be snapped up if it hasn't been already. When the lottery comes up it will be my first choice of yard for a mooring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the lottery comes up it will be my first choice of yard for a mooring. Things might have changed already, I`m hearing that somebody already moored there wants to move and that would free up a longer mooring on the front up to around 37ft, this is a stern mooring with a short side quay as well. Being on the front the thruster may not be required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydraser Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I've just got back from Brundall Gardens and two boats have recently departed and another has been sold so there should be at least two moorings in the 37 - 40 foot range available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more used to IMHO - in my (humble) (honest) opinion But yes, that would explain it. Well spotted. You maybe get GOS - grandparent over shoulder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
