Alan Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 And if anyone is feeling really clever - how about this one from 1976. It was Richardsons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki/index.php5?title=Boatyard_Details&YardId=33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 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.

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The first one at St Olaves might be Santa Fe, the second one might be "Captai Morgan", and the Riccos one might be one of the Merlin class. I`m sure Clive will soon come along and put us right though?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Richos one was used in 1976 by a School Party every Easter from Wishow. .Three used every year then, I should have said. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
