Hire Cruiser Sunk

[Hylander]

Thank you Ray.  No we are not going to be dictated as to what we can and not say.  All within reason obviously.   I don't  think this site is guilty  of this.  It is the members themselves getting  their knickers in a twist.     Open forum is paramount to enable all opinions to be aired,  however obtuse they appear at times.   May be I am reading it wrong but I hope not.

Broom Facebook page now advertising you can book direct with new prices this season.

Thread drift , agreed , it’s part of the NBN’s allure to many and will always happen similar with speculation which in this case has been cleared up very quickly , another  part of the NBN is its friendly nature and banter  hopefully we can keep it this way.

As far as what the future holds for Brooms boats and HPC only those at the helm can decide and I’m sure we will hear from them when decisions are made and the time is right for them to let us know.

Speculation is completely harmless, for goodness sake guys it's a discussion forum, nothing said here has any effect in the real world... nobody reading this forum will be confused by the difference between speculation and factual posts of information by stake holders in whatever is being discussed.

We're all intelligent adults aren't we, no need for thought police surely... Really? Come on!

Treating members like children who don't understand the "grown up world" is insulting and self defeating. This is not the mad, conspiracy edge of the internet, allow conversation without the lectures that just come across as condescending and that say nothing more than "look at me being sensible"

I accept your right to an opinion, for me it is purely a question of respect of an individual or businesses privacy, in this case a respected member of the forum, perhaps I am showing my age in the way I was brought up.

You speak for yourself 

isn't most conversations based on speculation. As long as we don't damage a business or reputation through speculation surely healthy debate is a good thing

I never drift a thread

Perhaps you should have added one of these Grace…

I've said it before and I'll say it again, threads don't drift they expand.

Looks like Broom's boats have been withdrawn from Hoseasons for 2025. No availability search on their own website but perhaps it's still being written...that or the hire fleet isn't operating after November this year? 

Looks like this is now running from today... quick work there!

On the original topic of the thread - I spoke to Herbert Woods today and apparently the engine was left running as the cruiser went down so apparently this caused increased issues with recovery. HW are hopeful of having the cruiser back up and running from the start of next year.

[Cheesey69]

Well that engine will be hydro locked and very much ruined. 

[Andrewcook]

It's not surprising  if the  Hydr0 Engine stayed working while iss was Sinking and all the Electrics will have to renewed New Cooker ect needs to done that will be a very inspensive job or Insurance?

If they follow the same path as the last one the boat will be written  off by the insurance then they will buy it back refurbish it and put it back in hire with a new name.

Thats funny - that Brooms link doesn't work for me

but this one might do

[YnysMon]

That one doesn't work now either. I've googled Broom Boats and it looks like their website has crashed. Ooo-er. 

[Hylander]

The site that came up this morning was for Moonlightshadow etc.

If you look on the current post for Brooms and The White Heron, Clive has posted the up to date position regarding booking of Broom Boats.

[Andrewcook]

Brundallnavy, I was not aware they could do this sort of thing similar to cars. If so, they've brought the Boat back; as you say, they may renamed, but will it outweigh the Cost of the Insurance?

[MargeandParge]

Andrew maybe you get a meerkat with every booking riding a fold up bike that should cover most situations . Just joking but would be great when signing the insurance waver to be introduced to your own Meerkat to make sure you had the best deal.

Kindest Regards Marge and Parge

Another boat nearly in trouble.

I imagine there’s an issue and they’ve taken it down as a short term solution, but I think it’ll be back up fairly soon.

[grendel]

Clive did say his people were working on it.

Here’s the thing Hylander… you don’t have the comeback for the Forum if saying x or y does cause a problem…and there are occasions when there has been a business unfairly pilloried. The comeback is on the mod team and ultimately the chairman. Therefore if we are asked to tone it down, there will be a good reason.

[BrundallNavy]

A half decker sank yesterday at Thurne in the strong winds. The yard concerned had the boat back afloat within a few hours.

H.W's cruiser - Update:-

There is a fist sized hole just below the waterline near the stern.  They got the engine running Saturday, clean her up refit the interior and then she'll be ready for happy families holibobs

I cannot see the relevance of this post.    Why are you mentioning me?   I am in agreement that the Moderators do their job.
