we have a fairline squadron 52,and no it was not us comming from the crouch,(re old post) not had boat long,spent all summer getting her sorted,last boat was a sealine f43 with red covers not one to be missed

 

[FullCircle]

there are actually quite a few moboers, and they turn up for the forum do's but not in any where near the numbers I would like.

Welcome. Wilkommen.Bienvenue.

The Squadron 52 from memory is a very nice boat, viewed one under construction at Fairline a few years ago. The East coast forum does have other mobo people but as not many care to get involved in the anti mobo/raggy arguments nobody here really minds what boat you prefer. Pop along to any gathering and you'll meet some great people. The only way you can tell what sort of boat they have is that wind swept look a raggy has. My other boat is a Birchwood 25 Interceptor, when I finally get that done up

Don't recall anyone starting to organise a mid winter gathering yet, but if they do, it's a perfect chance to meet others whose interests are similar


Now I'll run and hide after the wind swept comment

Hear hear!

Welcome Dj43... no prejudices here...

We all try very hard to get along, have fun, and make lots of new friends.

 

[ChattingLil]

talking of which - perhaps we should invade the Five Bells again - I really enjoyed that last winter. (sharing a bedroom with several forumites was a good way to get to know people!)

Moboer's normally do when they switch off

I have nothing against motor boozers , they have well stocked bars .

 

[leomagill]

Some of us have slow old mobo's based on rivers but still get out to proper water when we get a chance, just takes a lot longer to get anywhere.

 

[dj43]

Thank you all for a warm welcome,

Have never understood the mobbo/raggy thing,a friend of ours came to see our new to us boat,took them for a trip along the orwell and out to sea for the day,they were amazed how well we all got on sharing the same water,there boat is based on the south coast,
so that might account for it.

saw you at eby's back in the summer,you pulled in near to fuel barg,but did not stay

What river are you on,
It would be good to pop along to one of your gatherings,although not so keen on the room sharing bit,

 

[Sixpence]

Too much information

Steady tiger
Lisa is talking about our bonfire night party in 2010 when we had just opened, a great night was had by all and after consumption of copious quantities of assorted beverages nobody was able to do much other than sleep wherever they could

Lisa, the old place has changed loads since then as some here can testify, and others too sometime soon
If you want to organise something just go for it, as long as I know before, it would be good to see everyone again

 

[reginaldon]

I think Folkestone must rank as East Coast, our club is 'a Yacht AND Motor Boat Club - no Solent nonsense!

I doubt you'd fit on our river, were on the Gt.Ouse based at St.Neots where depth and headroom are both at a premium, getting in and out to sea is quite a balancing act with timing for us and were only little, aiming for the broads again next year as it's much easier base for sea trips, everything is a full days cruise for us, apparently theres dragons in the wash too but I've never seen one...(other than the one in the galley)

Hi dj43,

I confess to being a mobo'er and a bit of a lurker on here!
I have a Sealine T50 based at Suffolk Yacht Harbour.
Happy to meet up and exchange info/stories/places to go etc if you want.

Regards

Richard
