Starting tomorrow!

We need some help! Kitty needs volunteers to come and do some general maintenance such as painting, varnishing, and general assistance to get her back up and running again! No experience needed, and we provide tea, coffee and biscuits for everyone. We are based at North Fambridge still, and we really want to start doing some trips during the summer season. Work begins on Friday 14th April, and we plan to be there every Friday and Monday after that date. Please send me a private message on here or call me on 07554 425724 if you think you can help Kitty .

Thanks to NFYC who alerted us to a problem with one of our sails tonight, we really appreciate your help. It won’t get any worse and will be fixed when we get the gear down . Thank you everyone 😊👍.North Fambridge Yacht Club

Painting in the sunshine today - a hot day is a good day !

This evening , we went to North Fambridge and marked out our spot ready to arrive tomorrow evening . Looking forward to a new set of adventures for Kitty ! Was also nice to see S.B.Whippet who is also there !

We are so sad to hear of the passing of dear John Prime . He has been so generous sharing photos of Kitty’s history when he owned Kitty in the early 1960’s with John Fairbrother and Barry Pearce. We will miss his stories . R.I.P John xx

He's back again ! Waits for his mate to fly past, they go off together for a fly and a swim, then he comes back to the barge !! Maybe Kev should give him a paintbrush !!

21/05/2020

Instead of paying customers, we have a duck who is maintaining social distancing and keeping 2m away from Kev who is working on deck in the sunshine today ! If only humans could be this sensible !!

Meanwhile - over the barge !!
