BroadScot Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looking just now on the webcam I see that old wooden houseboat is still at the pontoon mooring. I wonder if it will be removed in time for the early May Holiday? Its IMHO opinion a blot on the landscape there, I do appreciate it will be someones pride and joy. It just aint mine to look at !

BuffaloBill Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I was told earlier in the year that it was only there for the winter as it was safer. Agree it is time it was gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueH Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Absolutely - having used that pontoon a number of times when on a hire boat it is a shame that it is being hogged like it is. sueH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 To be honest the YS does not seem set up for for many visitors at the moment-a number of boats that seem long term are Moored side on and others have tenders moored alongisde. The shed is not much better from here either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is this not one that was moored up the more northern end of the broad? Could be moored there for the winter for safety. Maybe JM has more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I did mention a 4 posts ago that it was there for the winter JR. Yes it is the one that was moored out on the broad further up. As for that photo that Matt posted........What a disgrace to have moored at a Yacht Station I couldn't see how bad it was from the Wherry camera!

That is the best side- i am not joking. Try and get another tomorrow when we leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Well I hope its removed before I get there in May lol I require a pontoon mooring and that side is the shortest walk for me. A bit greedy of me I know, but I don't fancy seeing that as my view on the starboard side! Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Its certainly been a while, it was there in mid December when we last visited. I didin't think too much of it at the time as I assumed that it was just there for the winter. The Doris was moored at the Yacht station a couple of years ago too.

Matt Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Apparently it's moorings have come detached and are yet to be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loribear Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 my god what an eyesore, nowonder everybody's mooring outside the wherry lol, i'm surprised it's still floating, lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExUserGone Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 If it's licenced and paying it's due it doesn't matter if it's an eyesore or not as it has as much right as any other boat to be there, if it isn't licenced and paying it's due then it can feck off... Just my (not so) diplomatic view on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetKingfisher1 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 They brought that houseboat there back in October, while we were there. Regards Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnks34 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Theres another vessel permanently moored on the other Jetty at the YS that would be of benefit to everyone else if it moored elsewhere to......budding victor meldrew onboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I agree with the comments of others,paid or not it is perhaps time to go.The ys is in demind through the season,as Marina said we saw it being towed last October.Surely it must be ready to move soon,if not for sure it will be in the way soon. ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 If she was as bad as this other Oulton Broad houseboat then I could understand people complaining! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Been like it for several years now. Not as if the owner is short of a bob or two but I suspect that he is maintaining his 'right' to have a houseboat moored on the Broad, Re OBYS, I understand that the laconic Adam no longer works there. Shame, long one of the fixtures & fittings, am sure he'll be missed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaters Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I think they go back to the 70s maybe even the 60s when we used to visit the broads moored in the North end of the Broad,if I'm right .but a shame to see them in that state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
