Cracking stuff robin, lets see some pics, the classic broads cruisers are beautiful.

Welcome to the forum. I'm over your way later in the year, I'm hiring a boat from NBYCO, early May, and competing in the 3RR later this year

Hi, I'm Chris and live in Spain,I still keep my 1968 DOBSON cruiser in the UK and return for occassional holidays in the cold wet and windy month of August! The boat is one of only three made to this design by Dobsons and the only one finished by them,the other two were part fit outs and finished by their owners. It started life at the 1969 Earls Court Boat Show as their exhibit and I have owned it since 1972. I will post a suitable picture when I can locate one. My wife and I have cruised extensively and have navigated most of the UK tidal rivers that have connections to the inland waterways,we have crossed the Wash twice. Enjoy your boating. CKP

Hi lets see if I can work this and post a picture on our boat

Claypits Too was built by Herbert Woods in 1954 and was the only one built, she is based on a Starlight hull but is 4 ft longer and 1 ft wider we have replaced ev erything from the deck up and replaced the petrol engine with an old escort deisel, does the job nicely.

That's a very pretty boat you've got there.

Keep her off the Northern rivers in May, we've got America from NBYCo.

Havent been to the broads for over 3 yrs! must get over there again soon, i'm sure my son would love it.
