Up to date meetings North Broads

[MalcolmB]

Hi all, I’m a recent member here with a 27i moored at Wroxham, is there anyone based on the north broads? I notice most of these posts are fairly old.

Not based there, but usually get two weeks on the Broads in September in my 4+2.
Love Wroxham !

I trailered my shetland 69 up to the Broads in1973. When looking for a slipway to launch from, I was aggressively turned away by the boatyards with them saying "why bring a your boat here when you could hire one of ours". I previously had had hired Broads cruisers for over ten years and loved the Broads, but the attitude of the various yards disappointed me and I've never been back.

You clearly chose the wrong boatyards !
I have used Richardsons in Staham (once), Princess cruisers in Loddon more times than I can remember, & recently The Waveney Center for the 4th time. All with no problems at all.

Well, it was over 50yrs ago and trailered boats were uncommon in those days. I suppose they have had to change their attitude. I did eventually find a Mrs Sabberton of Sabena yard in Hoverton who kindly allowed me use of their slipway.
