Hamble Multihulls

[Noddy]

I have just been told that Catamarans are not allowed up the River Hamble.

Now I don't really want to go up the Hamble, but I feel discriminated against and am working up a head of Self Pity (currently at the bottom lip stage).

Is this discriminatory? I would promise to take extra care not to capsize in the Hamble; because thats what multihulls do /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

Should we organise a protest raid??

An aged sailing acquaintance held, for many years, the European Record for Capsizing Offshore Multihulls. Four, I think, when I stopped counting.

We've fallen a bit out of touch, lately, but I do know he purchased a house with frontage and mooring on the Hamble.

Maybe - just maybe - your news and the above matters are connected.....

Do you have a link to an official line on this...

What a daft rule, most powerboats are phatter than my little cat!

 

[Twister_Ken]

How bizarre, coz there are lots of them. Maybe they don't know about the rule?

Er, A neighbour of mine at Foulkes (under Brusledon bridge) at the top of the hamble has a Cat, so I doubt it is true as they take his river fee every year

Sounds like an urban myth to me as there are several cats moored on the Hamble plus the odd one or two in marinas

 

[Noddy]

Phew!

I hope its an urban myth.

I was getting quite shirty for a bit there!

If your right Ancasta have a big problem as they are the UK agents for Lagoon Cats. Their new boat sales is based at Port Hamble

If it sounds too good to be true. Then it probably is. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
