Microbe Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 We passed a large burned out boat (looked like one of the Richardson Bolero class) moored close to the Ferry Inn at Reedham yesterday afternoon. We did not spot it when heading out Saturday afternoon. I hope no one was hurt. Does anyone know more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it actually burnt out, or was it a mould with a few windows fitted and some missing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is known as the light side, don't take life so seriously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'm a bit confudled about how a mould could be mistaken for a burnt out boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well an arch usually attached to the roof was missing, both windscreens and a couple of side windows werent there so to somebody passing it all looked a little odd, that said it was green and not black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microbe Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 Apologies if I've mistaken a partly built boat for one having a fire. I saw a boat moored with some windows in place and others missing. The hull looked dull and grey, like smoke damaged. My mistake, but I'm pleased to understand no one came to any harm. It would be nice to know the plans/timeline for this boat by the builders........🙂 Microbe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 This is one that has been for sale in Brundall, from a distance in poor weather ? Brundall to the north with a stop over in Reedham. I can make the theory fit the facts 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the one I think it is, it was a mould that had been partially fitted out and used as a liveabord on Hobrough’s Dyke. It hasn’t been on fire, no one was injured and it’s being moved to Bridgecraft for a reason that I’m not aware of. 33 minutes ago, ExSurveyor said: This is one that has been for sale in Brundall, from a distance in poor weather ?
