[Gary E]

You could be looking at 3 boats while standing on the bank taking the pic.

[Dave Fleming]

Hey! I was serious... Coot club by Arthur Ransome... Norfolk Broads.
:D

Those boats have that chesty sort of look that Uffa Fox designs have.

On a canal from Ems to Dortmund?

[Billy Bones]

It does look very broads like, from my readings only. Looks chilly, too. Absolutely beautiful gunters, yes?

Sorry bout the above -- couldn't walk away from that set-up!

[Dave Fleming]

Last hint,it is in Great Britain.

[uncas]

outside of oxford or cambridge...

[John B]

I do vaguely recall being on parts of the Thames that look somewhat like that. I still fink the Broads are more like it though.

[uncas]

Isn't there a stretch near Runnymede that looks like this?

[Dave Fleming]

The clock is ticking and the Mallomars are in the freezer. :D

[uncas]

There has to be a clue...Find Waldo...he's in the corner of one of those pics.
This is not fair....it should be illegal to post a pic like this...and force us to actually think...
I'm gonna get ya back...yes I am...yes I am...
Just you wait H. Higgins...just ya wait. :mad:

[uncas]

Dave...when ya get done with yankin' our chains...rode etc...here is a starter pic for ya.

[Dave Fleming]

Jamie, easy Oxford, Maryland. ;)

So ya don't like Mallomars, eh?

[uncas]

Damn'd your good.....it was a test case though...but still damn'd good Dave.
Actually I do...used to make mallomars over a campfire though...not frozen...
Unless we are discussing different delicacies.
Anyway...I'm still gonna get ya....
Got some ideas in mind.... :D

[uncas]

Sooo where is it...I ain't gonna go to bed until ya tell me...
I'm even gonna start drinking a snifter of Napolean brandy...just to keep me...well upright...or at least a 45 degree angle.

Personally I prefer this one:
Pierre Ferrand "Abel" Cognac.

But, if keeping ya awake is gonna be a problem then here is the answer............................................ .................................................. .................... ...............................
NORWICH Frostbite Dingy Races.

Sorry no Mallomar cookies for you.
Better luck next time. ;) ;)

[uncas]

Wouldn't have ever even come close.
Cheers and yup...good night.

[John B]

Norwich is in NORFOLK BROADS!Coot club territory !!. yehaw, send me the goods (whatever they are). :D :D

second thoughts don't send me the prize, just tell me what it is and I'll buy my own and celebrate. ;) ;) Mellomars, que? Beer, chocolate,cut of meat?

Still reckon they look like UFFA boats.

[John Meachen]

Since the piece of water involved is only around three miles downstream from my house,I kept out of this one.Dave certainly seems to like the area as he often posts pictures of the Broads.Perhaps its the contrast to the heat and dryness of Southern California.
The Norfolk Dinghies were designed by Herbert Woods and built in his yard between the 1920's and the 1960's.There was one exception- Patria of Waipu -built in New Zealand in the 1990's if I remember correctly.Perhaps John B might see this one in his own backyard.

[John B]

ooooooo, there's a challenge. :D

Waipu eh...

Thanks for the info on the builder John.
