That looks like the boat I hired in 1997 and every morning I had to hit the starter motor to get it to start and when I pumped it out it was a danger to the environment, hired it for two weeks but handed it back after the first and had an argument about getting our second weeks money back which we did.
I’m told this happened to a boat I used to own at Horning several years ago. I spent a whole summer doing loads of work but found the Broads too expensive. I’m told the boat passed through several hands before ending up sinking on the mooring and was eventually towed away. Does anyone know what happened to R119 Waveney Grebe formerly known as Sam?
That yard told me they sent out over 80, yes 8 0 ,,, boats that day and tgey said they all had " full tuition ," yet i found outvthey only had 4 staff doing it. Work that out.!!
Most of the Marian's road was gone The south side of the ILB edges are now only about 3 meters wide. If that goes then the amusements will be under threat.
I know this is a few years old now, but maybe boatyards should only hire certain boats to first timers. The broads is meant to be enjoyed by all, experienced and non experienced.
Just imagine if all you got was about ten minutes training before driving a car. If they just told you the controls and sent you on your with ‘don’t forget to drive on the left’ there would be accidents everywhere.
When watching things like this makes me realise why these companies charge so much for boat hire. . It's crazy the amount of people who just do not have a clue and the lack of respect ,it actually makes me mad lol.... I have been going on boating holidays for years and never caused damage.
Not all hirers cause damage or can not handle a boat.. But when thus happens to someone who has spent 60k on their own boat or 6k, then a lot more respect should be given to the person whose boat has been damaged by them. Thus twat didn't even get off the boat to speak to me or apologise . After this I gave up boating after 25+ years of boat ownership. The hire industry and the Broads Authority need a major shake-up and take responsibility to the owners .
The last time I was on a boat was a week on a narrowboat. We weren't perfect, briefly got hung up on a cill at one point and ended up losing 25 pounds of our deposit because we slightly bent the rudder mount. We did see a family in a 70 footer who really had no idea though. At the end of the week we saw them again, and the bow was stove in. I mean both sides had foot wide dents that were at least 1.5 inches deep. This is in a hull made of 10mm steel! We never saw them able to enter a lock without bouncing hard on the side. Dodgem cars on the water!
@scot4u yes I read that but it just means that the owner has not removed it from their database. A lot like that that no longer have a toll paid. I get rud if my canoe about 7 years ago yet they still sent me a toll reminder. . You could write to the BA and ask then to pass on a note to the registered owners address and ask them to let you know what has happened to it. Only way really to find out, I guess.
Yuk !!!! I hate heights !!! But that said on TV it looked beautiful countryside. There must be an alternate way by road at ground level for me though🫣!
lol There is, I wanded to go over it from south to north, but due to a road diversion I had to go through Millau town and when I came out I was the wrong side of the bridge and had to cross it from north to south and back over again. !!!!
The old road runs parallel to the new bridge but with many hairpins to get down one valley side and up the other. In Mr Dylan’s words, on the bridge, just “stare straight ahead and try hard to stay right” and you’ll be fine.
I've only just seen this and I have to say regarding the boat 'Moon Enterprise' if they were first timers ,that would not be an easy boat to manoeuvre, this I know because we had this boat 2 years ago ,both of us in our mid 70s, my 25th boat onthe broads. We managed okay ,but from the lower helm I can see it could be difficult. The top helm much easier. Also thrusters bow and stern should have made life easier if they'd used them. Nice boat but not first timers.
How this can happen up on The Bure, here, with virtually no tide or wind - by the looks of it, is beyond me. There was lots of space to pull in, too. All you have to do is gently put the helm on the quay, and manoeuvre from there!
Sad that’s all that’s left of our families hall/ estate.Our family had it for many many years😢 It was once a beautiful home. I’m hoping to make a visit to the parish church where my ancestors are buried before I’m to old.
Fair play for keeping your cool, So this sort of video proves this 1hr training is not worth a jot, same as some people can drive instantly and some need 300 lessons. We were at Richardsons last year and a boat on its training run broke the quay boards he hit them that hard/quick and he was still let out! We were there in Sep 2021and it was horrible got out of the boat yard and ran South as quick as possible lol. We have been coming to the Broads from about 1996 and we both hold ICC's and love it there and our kids do to but the North is just bumper cars when its busy
I agree with Miles: I don't know how you kept such restraint and composure?!!!!! Glad to see rangers arrived and hope you you have been sorted with all suitable recompense!
Come to expect things and people like him now. Since this I have sold my boat. still photograph and fly the drone but nolonger perpared to have my very hard earned money get crushed by numpties like we get on the Broads now.
MAvic 2. Just on the standard setting. I very rearly use anything higher as when put on the web it gets compressed anyway. This I thinks was on 1080 50fps,
@@ncsl no it doesnt it only gets rendered to start with then it will get to what you recorded at, i always use 6k at least 2k so when on youtube eventually it gets to 2.4 k as yours would

Sadly, that's why I sold my boat on the Norfolk Broads. The amateur boat hirers cause too much damage.
Totally agree. The hire companies are total rwat@ as they don't give a dame about others.
I can't believe that the hire companies allow hirers to pilot such large craft with little tuition.
That yard told me they sent out over 80, yes 8 0 ,,, boats that day and tgey said they all had " full tuition ," yet i found outvthey only had 4 staff doing it. Work that out.!!
You nolonger this type of enjoyment from boating. 😪😭
far to big a craft for someone with no clue it looked like it was full throttle in everything he did surely a craft that modern it had a bow thruster
It had both stern AND bow thrusters. Also a complete idiot at the helm and crew !!!
Agree with comments about poor handling skills, but we all had to learn and we all made mistakes .......
Love to see our independent Lifeboat ❤
Was the 2013 footage before or after the 2013 storms? Amazing footage. Shame you didn't do the Marrams at that time.
Most of the Marian's road was gone The south side of the ILB edges are now only about 3 meters wide. If that goes then the amusements will be under threat.
A little bit of background music would’ve helped
In what way? I can see everything I wanted to see.
Oh Dear. Darwin
Nice one mate looks bad there now great bit of flying mate great video Don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍👍🤶🤶🎄🎄. I have sub
There’s no sound.
Correct. What sound did you expect from that height ?
Hi Paul, any idea what’s happening with the Forum? Haven’t been able to get on for weeks and Richards email isn’t working either.
Hi John, RichRD IS HAVE TIME OUT DUE TO HIS ILL HEALTH. iT SHOULD / WILL BE BACK BUT NOT SURE WHEN. hOPE YOU ARE OK ?

I thought the first hit was bad enough, but when I saw him coming back for a second try, i though "it's like the gift that keeps giving".😮

Just a thought, what’s the BA toll for a car on the Broads? 😂
Don't know as I didn't ask him allow it has a short stay toll
Any follow up on this ?
Think the boat was never finished and as such is nolonger on the system
Someone on the Broads forum say its still reg ? @@ncsl

There’s always an idiot behind the wheel of a boat that has no clue on how to operate it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
❤
Awful boating skills, I'd have that in there no problem.,
Always good to see the bigger stations, no ambition to do the same though.
Shame about the weather

Thank you Paul. Another great video. Everywhere seems so peaceful. Lovely shots of the National Geographic boat.
When that kept Caen I heard it went onto either Devon or Cornwall
Read what the Germans did to the people of this village 😢😢 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane

Wait, that boat has bow *AND* stern thrusters?
Yes ,both.
Never
How patriotic. Great to see. Thank you Lord Paul.
Good to see you Dave . Hope all well "down under" .
Thank Paul. Lovely to see the boats all decorated for the Coronation.
Do the meetings still take place? I’ve final purchased a boat !
No longer. Some very small ones arranged through friends do happen but normally just a Couple of boats.
Hope hou all like it.

Thanks Paul. Brings back some lovely memories of when we had th boat. Hylander
You may not know but I nolonger have any boats on the broads. Got peed off of the holiday makers smashing into us.
Excellent work, nice to see another one saved👍 I have done the same this year now at the start of a 12 - 24 month restoration project 😊
Oh the good old days when we had our own boat and were a lot younger and more agile than we are now. Lovely not have some darned music playing.
I remember when that was just reeds on the main river where the boats are moored stern on.
Sad that’s all that’s left of our families hall/ estate.Our family had it for many many years😢 It was once a beautiful home. I’m hoping to make a visit to the parish church where my ancestors are buried before I’m to old.
Are these boat 30-40 years old? They look so different then what we have in the US.

1h 😂 I got less than that from richardson's
Don't be so harsh it would cost the local community more if novice boaters were put off
Very nice to see all of these real Broads boats

Turned on. Daft needless music. Turned off.
