These huge boats are not really suitable for inland waterways. To be honest there is now nothing picturesque about the Broads. We had a couple of holidays on the Broads many years ago, and the majority of boats were sail boat and the odd converted Navy boats. All you see now are huge blobs of white plastic, a great pity.

I've been a Tug master and a skipper in my local harbour for over ten years I've never seen nothing like it. Surely the boat hire companies show people how to leave a mooring properly Half of them don't have a clue what to do... The boats must go back smashed to bits every one seems to be in a hurry..
