New Hireboats For 2024

[Dan]

Hi Everyone

So what's going to be new for 2024?

I know NYA Charter are having a brand new Haines... https://www.hoseasons.co.uk/boat-holidays/enya-bh2859

Also, there will be Fleetline, Clive's new centre cockpit 46' from Horning Pleasurecraft (not on the website yet)

Are there any others?

I was at HPC yesterday and the first Fleetline has been launched, with some finishing to do.  The next mould is already in the shed, being worked on.

Exciting. Did you get any piccies?

No, sadly.  I was talking to Clive and thought it inappropriate.  Externally, it looks exactly the same as the ‘private’ one he finished earlier in the year, with a grey hull and white superstructure.  There are a few pictures on FB.

A new Juliette from Martham.

Enya at NYA looks stunning even though peak season price is £3450.

HW are having another Platinum (it’s in their shed at the moment) for 2024. Apparently this new one will not be a hybrid like the other two already in service but have a normal diesel engine.

This one is very interesting a brand new wooden hire boat.

Or is it a old one been restored.

I seem to recall they were preparing an old juliette hull as a former for a glassfibre mould for a new boat, so maybe its a half and half, glassfibre hull with wood fitout.

Hybrid?  Please don’t suggest more ruddy hybrids.  We were sat at Ranworth yesterday (and yes, I grudgingly paid my £5).  It was all quiet and peaceful, save for the thrumming of a not too quiet generator on one of the new Brinks Preludes.

If this is the future of boating, I don’t like it! 😡

It seems thats what it is.

No it's a Hybrid, glass bottom and wooden top.

I thought a hybrid from Martham would be a leccy bottom and a flappy top.

Ah - so hybrid construction, hot hybrid propulsion
