and the next one is a odd ball 

 

built in 58 from top grade bruzl ply wood hull quite modern then yer now 

with a strange fwd drive position ,which is copied today on the canal s by many a stellie

 

 

bulit in leicester from a little boat company "orme and son" for the owner he made serveral types from long and short and aft cockpit too they went into pastic one later too and we have seen some here on broads nice little boot too they were

she was built to cruise the narrow waters ,but in later life went from thames  to fens to broads so travelled a bit 

 

now with me in moth ball state but all complete and original 

with vedette on belt drive under galley sink 

 

she was always mistaken for a converted police launch 

she has been from nearly to the lock on the northwalsham  canal ,ran out of deep water , to geldeston and rite up to norwich past the last bridge too

 

 

now this one is a navy boot built in the 40s for the her twin engines and fast hull enabled the admiral to inspect the fleet quickly 

double diag plank work, we have lifted her several time s over the yrs this was her last lift with us 

we stripped the paint off her for inspection then she went to be rebuilt and she has been done but looks completely different now 

 

but done very well with modern engines and all new stuff .................i prefer her look in pic

the dory style was for play ,sneaking dun the dykes and going out for a quick midnite run .....

 

 

here is the bunn"september tide " in  the shed ,  so sad as part way through the tidy up works the owner died ,but the family wished it finished 

 

he had owned it since 1972 she was in very good order too

 

 

and one of  "iris" on tour with us and family .good nite at neatishead and a wobble hum as i remember hic ..opppss

 

josh caught a pike that nite and the dog maddie  went orf for a triple salco dive while running orf the end of the quay heading

 

not bad score from onlookers several 7s and 8 s but we gave her a 10....!!!!

 

i did smile for the camera honest .......

[VetChugger]

The Leicester built boat is an "Ormelite" Jon. I very nearly bought one when I was first boat hunting. My Norman website could very easily have been the Ormelite Appreciation Society!

There is an "Ormelite Cruiser Network" where owners gather and share info and pictures but you have to sign up to see the best bits.

As far as I know they are all woodies as well. I think they are mostly narrow beam for the canals.

[Wussername]

Just a little thank you for sharing your pictures. I have found then quite fascinating.

Keep you a goin bor! I loike the cut of yer jib. If I cum and give you a look with me old mawther do I get a cup a tea. See some of those old woodies.

Old Wussername.

[Springsong]

John you will be pleased to know that September Tide has been saved and should be coming back to the Broads in the not too distant future, as for the Lady Anne as she was called then here she is now after seven years work.

[BroadAmbition]

Barry - Very nice indeed.

 

Tha needs another fender each side up F'wd in my opinion

 

(I know from experience on this one)

 

 

Griff

[Springsong]

On the to do list Griff, the eyes are fitted just need to buy the fenders.

[C.Ricko]

just learn to drive it properly. 

[Wussername]

Funny thing about these old woodies. Not only do they look good, when inside they smell. I don't mean this in a derogatory sence, some have this wonderful boaty aroma. Never forgotten, not found on modern boats.

Or is it just me, nostalgia playing tricks.

OOOOhhhh Clive there is a proper reply screaming out for that one eh ?

 

(Nope don't do it Griff)

 

Stuff it:-

 

The fenders are not for the benefit of the onboard helm / crew

 

They are needed for the tupperware newby hire brigade - especially on the Ant
