trambo Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi all. Saw them in their building shed and sneaked a shot. Hope she has built in furniture rather than loose settees and chairs. Fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Not designed to go under the bridges,eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That was my thoughts 'another one to get stuck under a Broads bridge'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loribear Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 :-)hi john, it may not be built to go under bridges, but it looks a beautiful boat, i quite like the sedan type boats as they're an all weather kind boat. lori 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 She does look nice, Lori, I agree. But like other new boats I think it's a shame they are being built to exclude peeps from so many lovely parts of our waterways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 They`ve probably been "encouraged" to build all sedans by the BA from now on so they CAN`T get under the bridges, therefore that`s less traffic above Potter, Wroxham and Wayford, meaning they will have the excuse "lack of use" when they close the upper stretches. Or is that just me being scynical again?. Regards to all ......................... Neil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Very cynical Neil!I imagine as Jonzo said better to use out of season so hopefully it will book well for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Neil, The BA don't have any input into what we build other than the beam and LOA. they cant manage to get their own boats built as they hoped. we built Far horizon as we like it and it appears the hirers do too although it is not for everyone. Broadlander is not for everyone either but it can pass under bridges. The next design boat we are building is a high line boat, again it will not be for everyone but as will all of them I am sure I will like it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Clive, it was a bit tongue in cheek, tinged with a hint of cynisism, but seeing as one of the fleets (not yours) has a director on the BA navigaion committee, and they seem to be building an ever increasing number of sedan and flying bridge designs, it does make my vivid immagination wonder. It`s good to see you`re building a modern fleet incorperating ALL variations of cruisers, as that`s what is really needed, a good balance. Having said that, i still think the sedans and flying bridge boats would be far better suited to the southern rivers, so is`nt it time you relocate your high tops to a southern yard?. ................ Where have all the winking and machevious smileys gone?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 What are you posting from, Neil? Hi Jonzo, i`m always posting from a PC, as i don`t have any of those new fangled modern gizmos. I have to admit to being a bit of a luddite i`m afraid, and modern technology scares me. Where`s the LAUGHING smiley gone too?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
