Bounty History

[sarahjon]

Hi All

 

We have recently acquired Bounty 37 - Kingfisher, and are trying to find her history.

 

We have looked on the Horning / Boats database, there is nothing prior to 2007 as she was over at York, but we do have the original black sign with build number etc, and wondered if there was any way of finding her history from this.

 

Any help gratefully received

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Don't know if this is any help to you, you've probably tried it already.

Looks like there's a forum on the site

I'm sure someone will be along with a better answer but many are at the forum meet this weekend so don't worry if you don't get an answer straight away

Hi Sarah

 

If your "Kingfisher" is a blue Bounty 37 from the York fleet these were previously Waveney Heron from H.E.Hipperson of Beccles, and before that from Alan Johnson at Acle.

Sadly, to the best of my knowledge a list of the build numbers and who sold to has not lived on, but if someone knows of a cupboard it is safely tucked away in please do let me know, and I will get very excited!

 

Best Wishes

P.S I remember them as Sunsearcher and Sun Hunter (later Sun Searcher II) at York Marine

Hi David,

Jonzo was good enough to host the Bounty website/information within a section of the forums.

I hired the blue one "Sharon" several times from Alan Johnson.

The Museum of the Broads has a large number of old hire brochures and maybe able to help. It's volunteers have local boating knowledge & also may be able to help. I presume you have tried the normal boat registration sites?

Many thanks to all of you for your help and comments, we are having a look through various sites etc, it is looking fairly likely she started life as Sharon from Alan Johnson.

 

If anyone else has any info, that would be great,
