Woozle Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks to Jon and Teresa at Wayford Marine Hunky Dory is now on the River Ant. Hunky Dory is a norman 20 and has come from Fenny Compton on the Oxford Canal near Banbury where we purchased her. Her former cruising ground was the Trent where we believe she was fitted with a higher roof and hard top. We brought her down to Kent, initially to the submarine yards in Chatham where she was dwarfed. Whilst the yard was covered and dry, commercial ship repairs where prioritised so we brought her to Ashford for a year to repair the rotten woodwork, sort out the bottom, rewire, build a new galley and make good many repairs. There is a little work left to be done including steering and engine service, but we hope to be cruising imminently! Specs of Norman Cruisers are at http:\\www.normancruisers.com. Look forward to seeing you soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Welcome to the forum! She looks really good and has certainly already seen alot of the UK from your story there! Hopefully she is now happy in her new home in norfolk! (I'm sure she will be!!) and hopefully you can get out and enjoy her! Happy cruising!

DaylightGate Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The goose? sounds like there could be a story ... Ziggy prowls the boatyards. He has a bit of an attitude. I am sure you will have a run in at some time. He decided to guard my car once and didn't like me going near it. I did win in the end but it did cause some amusement to the others around the yard at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VetChugger Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Can I correct your link?? I suspect it might be www.normanboats.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woozle Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi vetchugger Normancruisers.com is more accurate than normanboats.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Here are links to the two websites:-http://mytraderpage.com/Default.aspx?alias=mytraderpage.com/normancruisers&http://www.normanboats.co.uk Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I suspect I should know about THE Norman webpage. Its mine! Alans first link is to a fairly recent appearance that seems to have blatantly pirated info from mine with a bit of rewording! Alans second link is only to a page on my website and does not show the various links! These are here! http://www.normanboats.co.uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
