Fantastic boat, I'm sure you'll have years of pleasure with her. They take over your life, I know its all I seem to think about..lol.

Thats a beauty of a boat, two seats in the enclosed wheelhouse and a kipping area when you are shattered after reeling a boat-full of yarkers in,perfect! I am still torn on upgrading between an enclosed wheelhouse or another cuddy boat with the warrior 175 and the quicksilver pilothouse 500 or 540 being the front runners! Southampton boat show for a good look in September!

Yes i'll be watching the weather, 5 weeks without a boat, so if its rough at the weekend i'll be anchored in the river flattie bashing.....

Lol nice boat fella, hope you get out soon!

Hi Chris, I bought the Jester from you, New boat looks a beauty!!! Hardly had a chance to fish from the jester yet, haven't been above 15mph due to southerly chop. Boat seems to slam a lot, any suggestions for best handling? Might launch up your way for the airshow on Saturday do you know if there is there a decent launch on the North shields side of the tyne?
Cheers Steve

[The Jester]

There is a launch at the yacht club at North Shields but not sure if you have to pay a yearly fee, You could put a post up on here asking the lads for launching places i'm sure they would know. All the smaller boats will slam at speed in a choppy sea, but you could try playing with the trim angle, . I used to like the spray coming over when wave hopping but your dad might not be too keen on that......I'll be out off Roker at the weekend i'll keep an eye for you mate..........

[KeithB]

Do you not mean the yacht club at South Shields?

[The Jester]

You're right it is South Shields I thought it was at north shields, shows how much i know about ramps north of the tyne.

Hi Steve, I launch at Cullercoats on the south side of the harbour. There's a ramp onto the beach, but launching on a casual basis means you will have to wait till 9-30am for the beech attendant to unlock the barrier after paying about £5. launch fee. Arthur
