Matt Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It landed on the mat this morning and I had a quick flick through and saw the picture on page 114-does anybody know where this is? Rubbish picture attached! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well that certainly looks like Norwich cathedral in the background, so I can only assume it is beyond Bishop Bridge. If it is, then quite what a hire boat is doing up there is a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I did think it must be Norwich but the hire boat threw me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I think the photo is taken from Fye Bridge - between the Ribs of Beef and The Mischief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The boat looks like a Sheerline 950 and I think there may be one of these in a shared ownership scheme which could explain its presence here! Also they would be a popular buy if offloaded by any of the hirefleets so may be a privately owned vessel. I'd LOVE one of those!

Matt Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 In the actual photo you can see the hoseasons logo on the bow...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Who knows that the boat was actually there in the original photo? It may have been "added" at a later stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Mike is right, Fye Bridge, looking downstream. I don't think the boat has been photo-shopped on, the shadow and lighting are very expertly matched if it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Even if there is a Hoseasons logo on the bow, it still might be private, or is there some physical reason why the boat couldn't be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundings Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That's true JTF, I have seen several privateers with the Hoseasons logo still showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well having never passed the yacht station and seeing its possible next year could be the year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I've never cruised up there before, but from what I have heard the only slightly iffy bit is Bishop Bridge itself. I don't think there is a height gauge and the depth needs to be watched. There is a video on YouTube done a few years ago by Lord Paul of a cruise through all the Norwich Bridges 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondello Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Katinka is on the front cover of the Jan / Feb issue of Anglia Afloat with a five page feature inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah, there was something I read fairly recently about a Silverline boat being crewed (by Silverline) on a trip to the centre for something a bit tourismy. Was it something connected to making more of Norwich's river by tourism/council peeps? Rings a bell as something like that, so I would think the photo comes from that trip, rather than mischevious hirers or it being ex hire Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Where would you be able to moor through there? Iv'e fancied doing that trip but tales of shopping trolleys etc put me off! Could you moor outside Zacs for a takeaway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandenjg Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I've been through to the end of navigation and i can say that there are No Public Moorings, that's not to say that theres nowhere to moor. If anyone does plan a trip along, be aware that if you go further than premiere inn there isnt any good turning points and youll hit a dead end just past the cock bridge ( i think thats the name of it).

LizG Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Been up to just a few metres short of New Mills twice now, fantastic trips, turning okay with 27 feet. You can moor at the Ribs of Beef (just). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 For those of you who have not seen Anglia Afloat and the information about Katinka here is a link to the article and a number of pictures of this classic Broads Boat:-http://www.angliaafloat.co.uk/advice-and-reviews/boat-tests-and-reviews/a_rare_norfolk_beauty_1_3131357RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundings Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Did we know Kantinka is up for sale at Broadland Yacht Brokers? http://www.broadlandyachtbrokers.co.uk/used-boats/used/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 The vid by Lord Paul was very interesting... now I just need to get London Rascal onboard Friday Girl one sunny day, when he's en-route Stalham, and see what results he can produce! (And he can drive us back to Riverside after the Ribs of Beef!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
