sarahjon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 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 :wave Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 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. http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki/index.php5?title=Boat_Details&BoatId=4243&BoatHistory=6505 http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki/index.php5?title=Boat_Details&BoatId=4042&BoatHistory=6139 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 Dan P.S I remember them as Sunsearcher and Sun Hunter (later Sun Searcher II) at York Marine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I hired the blue one "Sharon" several times from Alan Johnson. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggymale Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 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?

sarahjon Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 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, Sarah :clap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
