That looks like great fun (just past stockworth ???)

Perfect example of
a) the 45 degree, hell of a splash/ crew compression
b) filming boat hardly moves when utilizes the broadside on approach.

Not sure I would want to go to sea in one of those.

Oh no, not a sealines vers Jeanneaux thread

A few too many bits of string to taffle round your props but I would love to play on it

We have just come back from a great trip to the Norfolk Broads from Lincoln. It was a fantastic trip and she handled the sea beautifully.

not sure if this helps, but this reminds me of us bouncing around in our first boat, a small 17ft Bowrider... not at the helm on this one but some wake jumping shots at the start and about 1 minute 40 in Binliner 1750 wake jumping

Looks like some of my aproaches half way through, realise the size of the wake and throttle off

Where did you get to?

We got as far as Wells nts but couldn't see a weather window for coming back from Lowestoft, although we could have got there OK.

We loved Wells, and will be going back for sure, but next time won't be taking the dog I think, as it limits the passage time to 8 hours-ish and sometimes we need more in a displacement boat.

(Apologies to OP for thread drift)

We went into the Broads at Lowestoft, headed off to the Northern Broads went up as far as Wroxham then meandered back. Came back out at Great Yarmouth then had a few days in Wells on the way back. The weather picked up whilst we were in Wells and we only had one day of ok weather to get back. The sea was a bit on the bumpy side on the way back and at one point we had settled in for six or more hours of chugging along at 5 knots as the sea was too big for us to plane in. We did eventually get on the plane though and the sea flattened out as we entered the wash so we made good time. We evetually made it back to Boston on the same tide as we left Wells on.
