Here's an Idea..

[Merlin]

I thought it would be nice to have an area on this forum, for owners on the broads, to have a place to arrange meetings and discuss our love of the Norfolk Broads!

I'm reasonably new to boat ownership, but work as a technician for the RNLI.

Mine is a Speedwell called 'Susie' BA No. F929
She is moored on the river Thurne not far from Potter Heigham.

I have seen so many Shetland craft on the rivers and would like to know more about you & yours..

ps
Many thanks to admin, for adding this area for us on the broads.

Nice part of the world, the Broads...our previous 4+2 was moored at Broadsedge Marina Stalham..many a happy hour spent

Our Shetland 27i is moored at Acle.

Her name is Riverlight and her Broads Registration number is 949S

I will keep an eye out for you on the broads.

Haven't ventured to Acle yet, as I only got my boat this year.

Look forward to bumping (not literally) into each other

Not far from us in Acle then. I'll be sure to say Hi if we see you.

Hi, great idea.

I am in Coltishall (on the upper R.Bure - unfortunately I can't get past Horstead Mill else I'd be in heaven lol).

My Shetland is still undergoing extensive renovation and is a year or 2 away from being finished, but I plan to moor it in either Coltishall or Wroxham when she is finally finished. In the meantime I have my 10ft modified sailing dinghy to keep me sane.

I have been visiting the R. Thurne @ Potter Heigham for many years with friends on our annual pike fishing trip, although its a bit of a busman's holiday now!

And you are right, there are a lot of Shetlands out there, including 535's like mine... although I plan to make mine a mint example which can't be said for all of them you see!
