Hylander Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just a thought - did they moor up there when the tide was high and went for a kip and woke up doing the rolly polly out of bed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking23 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I am only joking, but what an opportunity to antifoul your boat between tides. lol. What is going wrong this season, far more boats going aground, and not particularly one hire boat company? I expect we will see more first timers to the Broads this year, following people being reluctant to going abroad following what happened in Tunisia. Maybe this is the trend this year...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iainno 37years experience he just lost concentration.Be warned those bends have a shelf about ten feet out it drops drastically,my tug draws 1.3M and I'm floating at low water,note the crane holding the back corner up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Cutting those bends results in problems, after saying that if encountering a boat coming towards you on your side the river where do you go? As you say a lapse of concentration can result in a number of problems. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Have they changed Titan then, Neil? http://www.maffett-cruisers.com/Images/repairs.pdf Hi John, They`ve still got Titan, but i think they use her mainly for getting into shallow water, especially when boats go outside the marker posts. John told me when they first got her that she was specially desined for shallow estuary work on the Thames. I believe she is relatively flat bottomed, though i`m not 100% on that. The tug in the picture i would imagine is used for salcvage use in the main rivers?. I`m sure wehlau will let us know?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Can i just say if these bends have such a low shelf then why oh why are there not posts (like the other side) along there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 darn sourth where there is a shelf, the ba bang in 2 by 2 yellow posts , because of the shifting silts, perhaps the lower Bure could do with some??....dosn,t help if your asleep thou!! opps didn,t read post above!
