- Why oh why???? A few feet further is a massive turning circle.
This seems to be boat crash corner, see " Boat crash on the Norfolk Broads " on TH-cam. I understand Ringo has a boat like this, Ringo is cool., but lennon says he was not the best drummer in the beatles!!! Paul was.
I offer help to first timers and most refuse then crash, swear and blame everyone else in the world.
Anyway, thanks for watching

I give them all advice and only 2 in 10 listen, I help them tie up, but there are some people who just know better!!!
Thanks for watching

@recneps55 I think a lot of people don't take in the info at the tuition stage too, through excitement. So the knowledge has all but gone by the time they go on their own. It's obviously far more exciting to take a 45x12 cruiser out than read the handbook 1st. These are about the biggest you can get aren't they? Like the Richardson's Acapulco etc.but newer perhaps. They're gonna need a smaller boat, preferably with oars! They have human fenders too, tut tut.
I've owned boats and I've hired boats. The art of controlling any boat is to be easy on the throttle. Most first time boat handlers push the throttle full forward or reverse. This makes any boat gain too much momentum and they don't have brakes. Any manoeuvre I do, I will push the throttle forward or reverse at very low revs a second or so and then put it into neutral. Just keep touching the throttle forward or reverse and putting it back to neutral as you manoeuvre and you won't go far wrong.
Sound advice. Also, doing this and sticking to the speed limits had the hire company asking whether I'd actually been anywhere when they checked the fuel use
Some people think they are driving a car in water lol
@recneps55 this is true it`s amazing how many try to steer the boat in reverse.....fail
One thing about boats , it so very easy to make a fool of yourself !
@dezsanderson ever seen a boat called "Sundowner"?
@dezsanderson we are in the mariner next to richardsons, Broads Edge Mariner, in Stalham!!!
I'm hiring this same boat this coming September. It will only be my third time on the Broads, and it's just me and my partner going. I knew it was a big boat, but in this video it looks huge! I may consider inviting a third person.
Has anybody else had this boat before who could tell me how it handles? I'm guessing like a dead elephant....
How did your holiday with the infamous GH go? I just got back from a week on her...
looks like neatishead staith near stalham
Yes! It's Neatishead.
@LIP15 Yep, you must have seen it all many times, thanks
@LIP15 correct, thanks for viewing
I see it because i live here and play on the river once or twice a week and see it all in the summer, personally i love the winter on the Norfolk Broads as it is lovely and quiet and void of idiots :)
Thanks for watching
I've been watching more crashes today at Ludham Bridge....no camera !!!!!
Cheers

You are right. It is hard for a total novice, I bumped the bank and a private boat, the owners never spoke a word just frowned a lot and looked for damage.
Maybe take lessons before driving past someone's private property as you do with a car
@j4cko56 Hi where do you moor it. Mine is at Stalham
it is a big boat and a tight space give the chap a break. everyone has got in a muddle when they first start :)
where is this on the broads?
To many people think they know it all on here and stuck up
Lee Enfield innit. Boaty wankers scoffing at everyone. How about advising them rather than filming
looks like a great way to lose a leg there..
I think that muppet parked his people carrier next to me in Sainsburys last week - every nearside panel had his bumper scuffs on them. Muppet.
Hire companies should shoulder most of the blame for this sort of thing. They are keen to hire out boats but don't take training/experience seriously. Hirers tend to go from full ahead to full astern crashing into privately owned boats (someone's pride and joy) without a care. Money talks I am afraid. I have seen and experienced so many examples of bad driving it makes me sick. It is time hire companies were held responsible for their clients "accidents".

@j4cko56 Hi Do you go fishing or just boat for pleasure?
Used to be Hullabaloos.
Now they're floating hoodies.
@purplegoffer The hire companies can also make a nice tidy sum out of the insurance claim...
we put a larger boat down the mooring area with boats either side ..... in reverse......easy........ arn`t bow thrusters a wonderful thing
Hope this doesnt happen when we go in october... but then thats a very long boat:'D Moonlight cruiser ftw xD
A limb is far more valuable than a ding to a boat. You should never use any part of your body to prevent a boat from hitting something. That's what fenders are for.
One of the best video's ever on how not to run a boat...hahah
just back from a week on the Broads and saw much worse. I was mooreed at Acle Bridge waiting on the tide, and turned my head when i heard shouting behind,to see some idiot reverse at speed into another moored boat. when he got off to see the damage , He and the rest of the crew could hardly walk,never mind control a boat. I was really shocked at the amont of drunkenness we saw that week,
@BreathDoctor2 Thanks for viewing
I live near the Broads, this sort of thing happens all the time, it doesn't really matter. The boats are built pretty robustly and have been crashed thousands of times. The unfortunate thing is that they sometimes damage more fragile privately owned craft and then just vanish. I have not had any significant bumps with boats, but these craft can be a handful particularly at low speed with the wind pushing them round. Not helped by the rest of the crew running around the boat and giving advice.

@warty2200 thanks for viewing
and not a single life-jacket in sight......
@highvelocity123 Thanks for viewing
Sweet looking boat. What kind is she?
This is nothing, I have seen idiots ploughing into moored boats on the river yare in Norfolk, personally i think you need to pass a test like a driving test to play with big boats like this, instead any idiot can roam the river on a big boat and do damage, it's wrong.
Can't be your there in the winter!
Lord Eden pARDON?
yeah I agree, I am 15 and I have actually moored a boat there, and the "skipper" has no idea of how in the blazes to moore it (personally i go in backwards there (much easier)) and although I have not personally seen said idiots, i have on youtube and they are just the plain idiotic.
@purplegoffer He he - that is how the hire companies survive! (kidding, although I bet that is how they renew their fleet, keeping it nice and shiny...) A great spot though - wooden sailing boats are far more fun mind on the Broads.
@phuquerz Thanks for viewing
now there you are then!
hired a boat from Stalham (richardsons) yard a few years ago , realy enjoyed ourselfs.
But did see loads of idiots on the water , most of them on the flats bottom side of Great Yarmouth where they had tried to cut the channel, ha ha wish i had videoed them and poste on here .

All the gear no idea 🤔😂😂
Hi Dez,
hahaha...I think I can do better!!! lol
@usenetposts James Clavell would be spinning in his grave man...
I`m an able seaman and a boat owner myself. I`m wondering where the hell are all these amateurs coming from?
Several very obvious things wrong here and all are of the most basic.. firstly not a life jacket between them all (i would not start my vessel's engines without all crew members wearing them), 2nd they need to be told that boats do not have any steering worth talking about whilst in reverse, 3rd the "skipper" has no conception of the length of his vessel, and finally as there are 6 people on board everyone needs to be assigned a task for mooring etc (this what a "crew" is for) because if one of them had of pulled their little tender along Port side non of this incident would have happened :-)
what people do not understand is that you have steerage way when coming astern . what the people in this video needed to do was simply put the boats head on that ledge go head with the engines put the wheel hard over port the stern will come round and you will be clear . Let the boat do the work
You're completely right, seems like newbies on the water with no concept of safety or the correct way to handle a vessel of that size.
So this appears to be a single screw inboard as far as I can tell from this short video which would suggest the rudder would be of a sufficient size for stern way mobility however these beginners probably don't understand the physics difference between the left-handed and right-handed prop or have adequate depth perception.
@recneps55 they give people with no boating experience boats for the day? I used to have a 20 footer in cardiff bay and thank god they didn't do that there.
Large fast boats + people who have never driven one = ruin and death
Well if you let people hire boats with no experience and only give them a few minutes rudimentary training, what do you expect lol.
Some bits are common sense though, like turning in the wide bit and not trying to do it in the narrowest part.
Leider gibt es das wirklich...
Too many people try and drive a boat like they would a car. They forget a boat steers from the back.
this is what happens when people come on these holidays who dont have a clue about boats they put other people lives at risk they should bring in a new rule unless you got a min of a RYA power boat level 2 they should not be aloud on the water as they dont know nothing about the rules of the water ways half of them most probs dont even know how to tie a boat up right let alone know what port means.
