C.Ricko Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I think it is a boat which had been on our yard, it recently sold and moved last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnygeoff Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I think it is a boat which had been on our yard, it recently sold and moved last week Ouch. Luckily no one was hurt, and if insurance is in place, even though it takes time, things should (should ) be sorted. I did giggle a little at Poppy's clip...." excuse the shaking, there's adrenalin going here".. 60-70 yards away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Got a feeling that her name is, or was, Enchantress. Big, wide bowed bath tub, at one time a blue hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 This boat does look familiar. Got a feeling that she'd become a live-aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnygeoff Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 so it's just not a boat that has gone up... it's a home..... Not the right time of year to be homeless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 its a foster 40 (i think 40) it was for sale for £500 (sign on back) it had no engine but not sure about the rest, it was moored stern on on the main river with a 'no turning' sign and a 4mph sign on it...

BroadScot Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I remember when Barnes had those boats, always convinced they looked a lot more than 12ft wide. Very sad indeed to see what remains of it. Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaters Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Surprised on the video that no one seemed to go to the boat to offer help ? Not being sure if the people were clear ? Unless it had started earlier and were well clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairTmiddlin Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Sorry Boaters Leave it to the professionals, possible fuel tank or gas bottle explosion could kill you and the person or persons have got off and gone in the other direction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Is that the remains of a flue in the burnt out bow section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 if it had no engine, how did it get to Sutton Staithe or am I missing something here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbx5 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 That was the boat the old couple lived on for years. We were moored 6 boats down for a couple of years. It needed a hell of a lot of work doing to. What happened to the old couple? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teadaemon Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Is that the remains of a flue in the burnt out bow section? It is. If you find her on Craig's database, his pictures clearly show a solid fuel stove at the front of the cabin on the port side, with the flue going straight up through the roof. The commentary on the second video also mentions that the fire was started by the solid fuel stove (although how he knows this I'm not sure - it could just be educated guesswork, or he spoke to somebody on board). From a BSS perspective, as far as I'm aware, checks on solid fuel stoves only came in at the start of 2013, so this boat may well have last been examined under the old checks.
