Pre-purchase Survey

I was Surveying down at Brundall today.

Freeman 27 at Broadland Boat Centre. Good facilities at BBC, they can lift the boats in and out of the water very quickly.

This is a Bourne 35. I Surveyed this about a month ago. The sale went through ok with the usual list of jobs to do.... most of the woodwork is being carried out by Brundall Marine Services... part of Brooms.

Rebuilding the base of the gas locker to the correct regulations.

Lots of woodwork completed, but still some work to do.... and some rain water leaks to rectify

All new running gear including a new shaft

How Time Flys!

Time for another Boat Safety Examination on Brookwind.... its been four years! It seems like only yesterday I was testing her. Picture shows her in Richardsons sheds at Stalham.

Mr. Jones has owned her for over 30 years. A Graham Bun Classic Broads Motor Cruiser, built in the 30's.  Teak on Oak construction, 'only the best were built from Burmese Teak'.  She is a product of the era of the tall sided majestic looking wooden Broadland Motor Cruisers designed specifically for inland water ways. A BEAUTY!

Nicked this pic of Horning.org. Brookwind out where she belongs....

Dawnstar is also moored in Richardson sheds. I surveyed her about a year ago. A Jack Powles Classic.

Jack Powles design again, but built for seawork.... up for sale this beauty.... a steal at 18K (open to offers). Contact:
