NorfolkNog Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hi Mike I do know that Swancraft are building one - to be Swan Romance - a 5 berth based on an Alpha 35 forward drive hull. I did a post on it a couple of months ago, I'll try to find the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have just seen this: @NBDWroxham: Exciting day, we have just had the hull for our new boat Fair Chancellor delivered. https://twitter.com/NBDWroxham/status/505270483122925568 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 @NBDWroxham: Fair Chancellor will be available for the 2015 season. She will have two spacious en suite cabins, perfect for two couples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooWee Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I saw two at least being built at Broom in July, possibly a third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 If you look at the Brooms brokerage lost they are selling off the odd hireboat. I guess news will replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi Jonzo,That Broom Hire Boat that was damaged on the first week or two after they started hiring again had to be repaired after the customer tried to take a piece out of the St Olaves Bridge, I have seen the boat and you can hardly see the repair.They do however now have a few scuffs on the gelcoat above the waterline like most hirecraft.RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 When we last up a Broom hireboat rammed a post on Breydon. That was a mess that took over a day to fix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There is Brinks Rhapsody which technically is not new for 2015 but her sister boat will be, and No1. in the class has not long been launched just a few weeks back. I'll be doing a video review and Blog of Rhapsody at the end of October so keep an eye out for this because she looks pretty special inside and has some innovative features such as an electric hybrid drive system. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddfellow Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The electric hybrid systems used in the Ranger Launches are quite glitchy. It is not at all uncommon for the switch between fuel and leccy crashes out leaving the whole system in limbo and requiring the isolation of power to both and a restart to get it live again. I have no idea whether this is an install issue in the launches or an more embedded problem with the system, but I wouldn't want to see a 40ft cruiser being stricken on a current because it has locked out during a switch over.......

Springsong Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I believe Martham Boats are building a new yacht for the hire fleet from the Palace mould, I also believe if all goes well it will be for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Personally, i`d like to see Marthams build a new cruiser (or more?) using a GRP hull and timber superstructure. I love the look of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I agree it may help to keep the river alive up from potter.No doubt it would cost a lot of money,but would be worth it. Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Of coarse, if they blew that damned bridge up, it would`nt be a problem, and pubs etc might start to thrive?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Personally, i`d like to see Marthams build a new cruiser (or more?) using a GRP hull and timber superstructure. I love the look of that. I was chatting to one of the owners of Martham a few years ago and he told me they were thinking about taking a mould of a Judith hull. It doesn't seem to have happened, but it seemed a fantastic idea to me. I like that damned bridge just as it is. Leave it alone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think it will be a sad day if Marthams move towards plastic boats.. I love the business model (and hastern to add that we did hire with them several times before being stupid and getting our own boat) and it's always nice to see their wooden boats on the river.. As others have mentioned I think the bridge needs to stay though.. mainly as a tourist attraction, although I think we need to start a campaign to fund the hiring of a JCB and digging around the bridge.. which side do we go though? hmm probably the chip shop side...

C.Ricko Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Agreed, I have mentioned before that the bridge should be for foot traffic only and a cut be put in round it. it may impact a couple of businesses though so I will leave that parked..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
