It's not stolen, and I'm not looking to find the owner or anything like that.

It was my brothers boat, which we had a lot of fun on.

 

Will probably look a lot different now, as he sold it quite a while ago. And it was a DIY job as you can probably tell, and was never really finished..

 

Just wondering if it's still about.

I like the horns. Does it play "Dixie" like the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazzard? I want some of them for my boat!

Yea it did ha ha.

 

We were once doing a bit of night cruising, and we passed some woods, with a big group of youths around a fire, as we passed we got the feeling they were up to something as a few got up and started scuring around in the undergrowth. I think a bricking was on it's way..

 

One blast of the horn, and there was a big cheer and they left us alone!

Seen something very similar up near Stanley Ferry area, maybe the same boat as the new owner had put on a DIY stainless steel roof/wheelhouse and had something like "Alpha 1 Bravo" painted on it, maybe the same boat as that looked very DIY.

Yea that's possibly it, as it was sold from Leeds. Also the brother never got round to putting a roof over the wheelhouse, so no doubt that's it.

 

Thanks, I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I'm out that way.

It's defiantly on a permanent mooring on the way to Stanley Ferry been there for a couple of years, may even be a bit nearer to Pollington lock but defiantly on the Aire and Calder.

I'll have a look on google maps, I'll probably be able to see it there.

 

Thanks.

Hi

 

If "Alpha 1 Bravo" is the same boat, it is indeed moored on the Aire and Calder ( Foxholes i think) and it has been up for sale for as long as I can remember. IIRC there are some issues below the waterline.

I knew it was somewhere around there if it is the same boat, never seen it move just remember the stainless steel wheelhouse and the "Alpha/Bravo" bit.
