Royston Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Hi I’ve been reading forums as a guest for a number of years but decided it’s time to join , First holidayed on the broads in around 1975 aboard Janet x from Martham with Dad and younger brother , also did some of the Thames around the same time . My brother like me has been back several times over the years with our own kids , . I have over recent years hired Capri , and Bright Horizon both from Richoe,s and this year will be hireing Royal Velvet 2 in July and Royal Velvet 3 in September , I don’t see myself contributing a lot but I would really love to know what became of Janet x as it’s the reason we both return after all these years , Comeing from the midlands as kids the bug sense of freedom and relaxation must have bit us hard . Thanks Royston 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broads01 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Welcome Royston. I too am hiring Royal Velvet 2 this year, in late September. It's a boat I've fancied hiring for a few years - have you hired it before? According to this page http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki2018/index.php?title=Boat_Details&BoatId=2108&BoatHistory=2743 Janet 10 left the Broads some years ago sadly.

Thanks for that , seams like it made it to 98 at least , maybe someone’s restoring it in a shed somewhere , no I’ve never hired from brinks before but I think wroxham is a really good place to hire from can’t wait 5 hours ago, Broads01 said: Welcome Royston.
