Clive, There was an obvious spam reply to the thread (now deleted by the moderators) the other posts look to be real ones.

Hi Mike,

I should be getting a decent photo of Broad lander tomorrow as the windows should be going in today.

The upholstery is nearly all back and the floors are going down.

She should be launched on Monday.

I will put the photos on the other thread (if I can work out this new computer)

This year we have launched Moon Voyager, Broadsman 4 and 5, Broadlander will be going out in a couple of weeks and then Carousel 4 and 5. That will be it for this year!

Horizon craft are waiting for some smaller boats as they have trouble accommodating the 45 footers.

, Clive.

Hi Alan,

we have not measured her yet, the clips hold the glass in until the bond is strong enough to remove them..

There is now also a drivers side canopy window!

Ooh, that looks rather smart. A defnite mixture of new and retro. I hope you don`t mind me saying Clive, but all your new boats look very "white", is there any chance in the future of some coloured pin striping along the top edge of the cabin sides, and hull to brighten them up?. I think light blue would be quite subtle, so long as it`s not to wide?. She still looks good though.

Might just be me but sorry Clive I just don't like the front end, too much like a bathtub and I hate that screen, the rest of the boat is cracking though, so if I win the lottery it'll be the RC45 you'll be building for me,,

Mike will be a happy chappy now the photo is up. Must say I've been interested to see what the new boat would look like. IMO i'm in 2 minds at the moment about it. The front is definately a defining feature of the boat and to me it look like a great place to have a cold drink and fish from, rather than being stuck at the back end of the boat.

Will be good to see it out cruising, then i can decide whether it's my full cup of tea.

So far, looks very good for the broads style of boat

But that's just it, surely, Frank?

It is a modern "bathtub" and has all the advantages of the breed.

[Mowjo]

It's weird John! I passed while it was moored up at How Hill today and to be honest it looks better in the flesh, I like the idea of the well, but for some odd reason I don't like the Bermuda type front screen, I'm not sure if it's the curve at the side of the front screen where it goes up to the overhang, For me it would look better if it was more curved to match the side screens, but then I'm in love with the RC45 Carousel, had a lot on-board that and Broadsman and Carousels layout did it for me,,

 

Regards Frank,,,

The only thing i think could be changed is the rear windows. At the moment, and i hope you`re not offended Clive, the rear window looks like it`s been kept on from the original RC45 (which it has), because they either could`nt afford to change the plug, or they rushed the final build, and said let`s just stick with it because it`s too time consuming to change it. It would look far better if the lower edge of the rear window followed the line of the deck, and had a pronounced front edge, rather than a point to it. This is only my opinion, and like i said, i hope Clives not offended?.

This design was never going to please the eye of everyone, but there is a model missing on the market which everyone seems to have avoided and with the popularity of the front well boats on our yard it seemed it was a good move, We have experience of running all the F.B. Wilds craft, the Horizon Craft Fleet which were all Fwd well boats and also a large number of Bounty Fwd well designs, We simply need a modern version of this popular practical boat. 

The modern retro design was a combination of many things including what has worked before and also what we wanted.

 

The rear windows are not the same so no Neil I am not offended! The window comes up at the front to miss the canopy runner.
