Very good, can,t beat the human touch a lot more forgiving than craning and slings.

Where was she hauled out?.

 

I remember her being for hire for many years as a houseboat at Martham, was she still there, and is that where she`s been taken out?.

 

They also had one called "Bramble" which had all her superstructure painted white, does anybody know what happened to her, i assumed she seccumbed to the dreaded rot, and was broken up?.

I did not know there had been a problem. Where and when did it happen and does anyone know why yet?

it is wooden, I have never heard of a wooden boat without a problem.

That's maybe a bit cynical, Clive? If a new wooden boat is looked after properly then won't it last just as long as a 'glass one?

Bramble sadly left us in the 80's, Neil...

Yes cynical, but anything can be rebuilt. A wooden boat is something you manage depending on how much money you have to spend on it.

(All my 'private fleet are wooden)

[mbird]

Had my first boat out of the water using that method. Very hard work indeed!

[C.Ricko]

I have a wood burner in Broadsventure just to keep her on her toes,!

Can anyone remember 'Anna Capri' (I think) she was a HDML moored near Acle or Stokesby, It looked like the owner gradually dismantled her and kept warm while doing so!!

[TrevorAndDeirdre]

someone ask where this was done. It was in Wroxham where they are repaired, it is near the Barton house railway.

Hathor in happier times being turned at Dilham.
