Is that one of those Hunters Yard boats?

 

[castaway]

No it was from 'Whispering Reeds' at Hickling. 'Marigold' ( the boat not the yard owner) was built is 1906...sailed beautifully !

I think it cost £35 for 3 hours or £45 for 4 hours.

Regards Nick

Wherry is OK but prefer Adnams Broadside.

Great place to sail - will be spending the last week in July on the banks of the R Yare with a bunch of Sea Scouts (as I have for the last 3 years) and a variety of dinghies / Kayaks etc - fantastic fun!

In the 60s it cost me about £7 10s for a week in a decent three-berther from Herbert Woods. An engine was not usually fitted but would have cost another pound. We pre-ordered the groceries and they were on board when we arrived.

Hunters are a lovely spot to overnight. Spent many a comfortable night there. Free moorings and use of facilities. They refused any engined craft on the premises. (Well they did then) Yes, those were the days!

Ahh brings back happy memories of lazy days on a Hunter's balanced lug sail boat teaching swmbo to sail.
