Have a mate up here who hails from Ipswich. But, I have stayed at the NovoMotel in Ippy. An old AOL friend took me passed the Marina on the way to Southwold, so I am not that clever.

I used to cycle to and from school along the quayside in the background when it was Cranfield's grain quay - been a few changes in 50-odd years!

And old Bob Roberts worked the Cambria from there, good old days.

Isn't that nice? The interior looks in very good order. Engine looks original (original BMC) but that doesn't have to be a bad thing!

The hull is an example of why you can't change the colour of a GRP hull, but all the same, a couple of coats of Permoglaze and she'll come up "loik a new'un".

As I said earlier, great to handle and for its size, very roomy ! The clever stern entry does not use a lot of space.

The hull would have been blue in its hire boat days if I remember rightly. It looks good in white now though.
