BroadAmbition Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Seeing as it’s an anniversary, what about Classic Boat Magazine being in attendance? They’ve been before Guest speaker? Woodie related? National historic boat register? I m in receipt of their on line monthly news updates Open air tribute band performance? That lot should keep you occupied for five minutes pondering Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 For the anniversary show you could have the mtb 102 and a couple of wherrys on show. Maybe a woodie doing river trips aswell just out of interest what is the oldest woodie on the broads not including wherrys and yachts ( I bet it’s a Herbert woods ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Water rail is 90 now, but there was also a 91 year old, and Eastwood whelptons 100 year old bootlegger at the show this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Martham still have the yacht Zoe for hire, built 1897. J Loynes had Golden Plover for hire right up to when Faircraft took over. According to the database built in 1915 and last seen 2019 so is probably still here somewhere. http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki2018/index.php?title=Boat_Details&BoatId=2744&BoatHistory=3907 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobster Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I know that the River Cruiser Madie was built in 1906, and is still going strong as I’ve just seen her arrive at Oulton Broad. By my calculations that’s 117 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The yachts have out lived the motor cruisers - Buttercup is also pretty old, I just can't remember when she was built. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I have just a few images from the boat show, for some reason I was too busy to pick up the camera the rest of the weekend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
