Hi Don

According to Phil Simons book "Retired On The River",yes she is.The photo in the book is black and white,and copyrighted so I'm reluctant to scan and post.Perhaps someone living closeby (she is at Surrey Boatyard,Shoreham) can pop round and take a nice colour pic for us all.Robrina is pretty shabby though,Jalna was looking very much better (in the book),I was surprised she did not outlast Robrina.

This book can be obtained through the Small Craft Group of The World Ship Society for £12.00.

Regards,Christian

Thanks Christian.

I spoke to the Surrey boatyard. Yes, Robrina is still a houseboat there.

Anyone know of 2550 that sunk on the Trent in the last 12 months?

Cheers

Hi Chistian,

HSL 2550 is Bucaneer?  Well she is/was sunk on the Trent some time ago, within the last year I believe.
 
I am getting a letter from Mr Burke tomorrow or the next day with the contact details of a Mr Tony LLoyd  who knows more about her.

I'll post it when I know it!

Cheers
Don

The class of the possible survior of Bowling harbour!!

This is what I saw,(In my early 20s in Bowling Harbour half sunk) and hope is the boat that was saved by a crew members daughter. My contact says it is being rebuild in a barn in Dumbarton(Oxhill)..the last confirmed sighting was a few years ago by my boss...when he was on the "tools" at Sandpoint Marina in Dumbarton being dried out!(the boat not him)

it was moved by lorry a year later....I cant find it in Dumbaton....but the search will do on!!!

will be in touch soon!

 

Jim.

P.S The plan was to more her down south...if she made it please let me know..My contact is the guy who told me of the MTB at Girvin,the lead was good but the boat had moved on, so im' ok with his word so far!!!!

P.s Christian he owns the Diana II.

Spoke to Mr Lloyd Re Buccaneer.
He said the boat on the Trent  was named Buccaneer but was HSL2005 (!?!).   Now I'm confused.

Apparently she broke her back in a clumsy lift attempt. He is trying to find out what happened to her since.  He has contacted the East Anglian ASR branch to what they can and hopefully  will do with 145.  I have assured him that as far as I'm concerned, it's their boat so hopefully they can adopt her!!.   Otherwise, it's plan 'B' ....whatever that is.

Will let you know of any updates re the shipwrights visit on Monday/Tuesday.

Who is going to bid on the ebay boat?     I'm not but I hope someone who wants to restore her does ( and removes the trawler cockpit).

Cheers

If I could get the cash together quicky id buy her..but like most people its just not possible for me to find that sort of cash in a hurry.I just hope that somone makes a good offer to stop her from ending up in long term storage.

Anyone know if HSL186 Robrina is due to be scrapped ( replacement houseboat) in July as mentioned elsewhere?

Thanks
Don
