kadensa Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 if you do what you did with broadsman i can see this being the best boat available for hire. Sorry, but I don't agree. Lovely as this is, Broadlander still gets my vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbishop123 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 We all have different opinions but i am very excited about this boat but broadlander is also another great designed boat but i like to look over reeds but do enjoy buts of river like past wroxham bridge which wont be accessed by this new boat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadensa Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I do take your point about the view of the surrounding countryside being better from Broadsman. However, as I think has been said before, there is rather too much 'plastic' moulding about it for my taste ( I can't get past the idea that it has been squeezed out of a gigantic toothpaste tube).

C.Ricko Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi Alex, We have made provision for a door to be added in the rear if needs be but there are no plans to put one in on the first few builds.. At Stalham we Build boats, not just put them together, we do not use lining carpet to cover things up and we use quality finishes and fittings, that is why they are better than other new build hire boats. At present we have been building new models and designs better than the previous model, this is the plan with the 45' flybridge, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbishop123 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Ok great as i am often put off boats where it is not easy to gdt off the boat at the back so i am happy aslong as it easy to get off, what i dislike with side doors is that if you moored up on the port and the side door is on starboard side means walking around the boat or climbing up to the outside helm section, i cant wait to see what you do and are likely to go on board her in the future anyway, keep going with the great boats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Ricko Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 We finished the plug about 2 weeks ago but have had to delay making the mould so we can finish other jobs off. we had to finish the last set of RC45 mouldings to build for the fleet and also a set we have sold to another builder for a private customer which should be delivered next week. We will then get on with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatmadmike Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi clive.any more pics off ur new fantasic flybridge.could u tell me if u having new boats for horizon craft and at moonfleet aswell main yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi Boatmad, the mould is having its 'woods' made and bonded on, this is to strengthen and stop the mould from flexing or distorting, we are also experimenting with a new (to us) way of turning the moulding over by spinning the mould 180 degrees and dropping the moulding onto a trailer then spinning the mould back round.. I have not taken any photos for a few weeks as it all looks a bit the same... not long now though!! Horizon craft will have some new boats next year, we are having a swap about with a few boats but I will tell you all about that soon enough!

riyadhcrew Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hello Clive, I just returned Carousel 3 last week and have booked another Carousel for March 20 next year. If the flybridge (BROADSMASTER) is ready, I would be delighted to take it for an early season cruise. Just a thought. BTW, Carousel is stunning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
