Paul re Broads
I took S22 Dee Rover to the Broads for the first time last Easter on a Trail Sail Assocn rally. Great company, good fun, but I was unimpressed by the sailing. Narrows, not broads, -- so shallow we were constantly running into the mud,.... and bridges!! It takes far too much trouble to raise & lower an S22 mast to be doing it every day.
We launched at Martham boatyard-- easy launching,parking etc. It is east of Potter Heigham bridge which keeps most of the gin palace hullabaloos at bay.
I am not planning to return unless in, say, a big sailing dinghy set up for shooting bridges. As a northerner it is not worth the long haul of 200+miles, for that I can reach the Clyde for superb cruising; for 100 miles or less I can be on any of the Lakes, or more demanding sailing round Anglesey or Cardigan Bay, or the Solway Firth.
Anyway it's worth trying it once, good luck , Tony "Dee Rover"
