Making a new mould (from an old one)


Recommended Posts

Hi Clive, thanks for the picture, she's looking fabulous, I think I've just chosen my next boat !! I notice when reading the earlier posts she will not get through any bridges other than Acle at low tide, just how high will she be ? Wont there be any chance of maybe squeezing her under Ludham bridge at low tide ?? There always seems to be a lot of space when I've gone through on other boats ! :roll:

We dont really know how high she will be but suspect it will be between 9 and 10 feet, when she is launched we will measure her then take her via road to Wroxham for launching and trip to Acle..

I think Clives using this as prelude to making his own boat!! :naughty: he has indicated that he might be in the market for one?? :naughty::naughty:

;)

We sold a pub this week, that gives me the cash to develop my new top which has already been designed ;) , then I can build one

for myself which will go up for sale or be a demonstrator while not in use.

well thats the plan but I would not be suprised if it is substituted for an extra hire boat two guns

That sounds a better plan... perhaps they could build a replacement for one of the hirefleet craft and you could have the retired boat as your own boat!

Hi Andy,

cheers, yes she is coming together well now, we plan on putting her in the water on Tuesday but will have to see, she is due for a trip by road to Wroxham on Thursday morning, we hope to have her up and running by then...

Yes, that is the 'Broadlander' mould in the shed, we hope to get back onto that one in a few weeks time, but first we have to build Carousel 2...

Colin,

I am going to make sure I go out on Broadsventure this year, all I need is a gas locker and BSS!

Andy,

I had 4 days on Broadsman over christmas including christmas day and lunch with Wifey two kids and a dog this is because I like to leave the hire boats for you all to enjoy over the summer. :cool: ( We also cooked Christmas dinner on board and Dad joined us at Womack! )

p.s. dont tell the yard about the dog ;)

I can,t believe I'm going to miss seeing the boat before it goes, I moor in the wet shed and keep saying every times I'm there "must go and see " but never end up getting around to it.

Clive when will the next one be ready for a look see, I'll make aa special effort to see it before it leaves. :grin:

Not Carousel but Far Horizon that was launched and transported yesterday to Wroxham ready for the onward journey to Riccos at Acle for final fitting out. Clive has some at the Wroxham end.
