grendel Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 looks sturdy enough, might be tricky getting under some of the bridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The boat hull up high in on picture think it’s a classic 27 looks more interesting to me 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a Classic 27. Not sure if the owner would sell it though. You know how the boaty people are. It'll get done eventually I am sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didnt hide my wallet - but I made sure she didnt know it was for sale. Even if it was free I think it would be too much money. As for Tim's land, thats a fair bit of money. He told me that it actually has no river frontage and half of his old workshop/shed is on land that is only "borrowed" and will be returned once the yard sells. So someone has bought a very small parcel of land with no access to the river. And a lot smaller than it looks on the maps. I have been informed that he will move out of the yard but the business will still keep going. It will just be a ring up and he will deliver only service with no option to go and look at or select the wood. Sad but thats life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hi Roy Her Broads number is L87 Built by Hippersons at Beccles. She is on the list to be restored however the list is a bit long, it includes an Elysian 27, a 32ft wooden broads cruiser, a 37ft Golden light, and a mk1 Cortina estate, as well as the wooden boat we currently use called Kingfisher an ex Golden light. My wife thinks i suffer with multiple project syndrome. but at-least she knows where i am most of the time. Robin 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Thank you I must say they are a nice little boat I’ve always wanted one or a Hampton Safari. I was lucky enough to be shown around aurora a few years ago when she was tied up at wroxham the owner was thinking of selling her I was tempted but wasn’t the right time Good luck with the restoration please document it on here so I can read.
