BroadsLady Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Good Morning All My name is Vivienne, I am a Lady in her early fifties, married with two grown Son's, my husband is disabled (an amputee) we've been boating on the Broads on and off for 20 years but due to my husbands disability are unable to use boats so have been staying in land based accomodation. I have browsed this Forum for some time and only just plucked up the courage to join, bear with me whilst I find my feet Lol I'm loving the holiday tales section, wonderful photos and stories bringing back many memories of my own adventures on the rivers Viv 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Nowadays, with correctness, it's good to get these denominations sorted out before we start, so welcome, BroadsLady. If this forum had existed in the 1940s and you called yourself a Norfolk broad, you would have attracted lot of attention from the Sgts' and officers' messes in the U.S. Airforce base at Rackheath! 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogF Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 A question for you. What is the significance of the NBA boat numbers. Does the prefix or suffix letter suggest a date of registering. Or is it all random? R&M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Do you mean BA numbers? Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogF Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Yes, Our boat is 1382B. Is the "B" a year number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham47 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The 4 digit number + letter, same as your format, was introduced in 2017. If you Google Norfolk broads boat registration numbers and select History of registration numbers there is a history of registration number formats.

grendel Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 it used to be the river letter then number - eg water rail B77 was the Bure (1933) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had more to do with a boat age. I was once told the letters in the early days signified boats built at either north or south yards, not sure about this either. The boats of the broads, Craig’s site had something on this? 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WherryNice Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I belive originally the letters were indeed to do with location but then became just an alpha numerical sequence. You can roughly tell the year of reg retrospectively but it wasn't specific like car reg numbers and they just used up the numbers rather than move on like they do with cars. Also you get odd ones totally out of sequence. The database does cover it also. http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki2018/index.php?title=Registration_Number_History 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
