RoyalTudor Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 As a newbie I thought I had better say 'hi'. Not a newbie to the Broads, been coming to Norfolk for forty years, boating, camping, fishing...on one memorable trip when I was 16 a friend and I was lucky enough to be a guest of Ted Ellis in his ramshackle but gorgeous house, with Ted and his Wife packing us up the following day with supplies for a weeks hiking and Ted provided a lift in his Renault 5 to Reedham. Had to peel my fingers from the dashboard at the end of that trip...I don't know what Ted thought the gear lever was actually for! However since my first ever holiday aboard Captain XII from Brooms, I have been mad keen on boats. This year has been a rather special year as I was lucky enough to get one weeks holiday afloat in August, the first in about six years...both holiday and getting afloat that is! As I said goodbye to the boat on the last day of the holiday I would never have dreamed I would be back in Norfolk less than two months later to purchase with my Dad a boat of our very own. Currently undergoing a refurb at Wayford, Royal Tudor, built by Royalls in 1960 at Norwich and finished in Hoveton will be ready for next season...and I can't wait!

Hi John, put that cardboard chicken on the table and play the record of a champagne bottle being opened, will you? Pictures of refurb? Oh we have a couple of pictures but as this is my third attempt at trying to work out how to post a pic...and still not sussed it... there's a growing number on Royal Tudor's website which gets added to almost daily. Right I'm off to explore the forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
