As it decided to pour with rain today I decided to upload all my Broads photos to albums on Facebook. Each album was named by the year including the boat name but I'm stuck on one year. I know we had Kingfisher Dawn in 87 and I'm pretty sure we went to the same yard in 88 but had a slightly larger boat. I can only find the attached 2 photos that give any sort of clue. Can anyone name that boat?

Thanks.

Alan.

The first picture is at St Olaves.The second shows part of a name that looks that it might be Buccaneer Boats, off to Craigs list!

I'm confused myself now and wondering if the 2nd picture is someone else's boat! I don't remember ever going with Buccaneer and in those days we always went with Blakes as Hoseasons was always considered a bit more expensive. I'm sure it was a Kingfisher Cruisers boat.

The Richos one was used in 1976 by a School Party every Easter from Wishow. .Three used every year then, I should have said.
