This is me! I am the Boatshed Yorkshire broker - my name is Andrew Holmes - and I have had a lifelong interest in boats, the water and sailing. I built a wooden sailing dinghy when I was 15 and managed to source the materials through my school woodwork class and I have never looked back. As a child, holidays were spent on the Norfolk broads, a part of the country I keep a close association with. My business experience includes retail and internet commerce and I look forward to putting my knowledge into helping people buy and sell boats. The Boatshed Yorkshire office is part of the hugely successful Boatshed network and we are the only yacht brokers to personally visit and photograph every boat that we list. This gives confidence to both buyers and sellers that what they see is what they are going to get - no hidden surprises after making the 100 mile visit to see a vessel. I have over 50 boats for sale in Yorkshire and there are around 3000 available across the Boatshed network. Please get in touch even if you are not sure what you are looking for or have a vague idea that you might want to sell your boat and despite the so called economic crisis we are selling record numbers of boats. I am always happy to talk through pros and cons of any craft and may well have some suggestions regarding possible solutions. And please take a look at the boats we have got listed - you didn't know you wanted a Converted Tugboat did you?! Andrew Holmes - Boatshed Yorkshire
I own a Broom 32 called Yorkshire Belle which I keep on the Norfolk Broads in a purpose built wetshed in Horning. We bought this in 2007 after a long search-Brooms said they had a waiting list-from Val Wyatts in Wargrave and shipped it on a wagon to Ferry Boatyard in Horning. I believe this the ideal river boat, ours is unusual having twin engines, and we use it every 3 weeks throughout the year. It was Broom's 1983 Southampton Boatshow exhibit and was in original condition when we got it . Some updating has taken place such as new flush toilets, new calorifier, batteries, inverter, Eberspacher, water tank- where will it end? What is the point having an expensive object and not using it? The BBC recently set up their camera on my foredeck to record scenes at Thurne Mouth Open Regatta for Country File and there are various scenes of this below. I am also a member of Yorkshire Ouse Sailing Club which is based at Naburn and recently obtained powerboat level 2 in one of their RYA courses. In September I will start a Dayskipper course at York Cruiser Training Centre with a view possibly to some offshore trips, maybe even a voyage back to Yorkshire!
