Posted: Mon August 16th, 2010, 11:37 am
Hi,
Before leaving the UK in 1990 we owned 'TISZA' a ferro-cement version of the Good Hope class yacht. We sold her in 1990 where she was moored at Frank Knights in Woodbridge.
We were the second owners of 'Tisza' after the owner/builder died in a tragic MOB accident.
The builder had increased her draft during the build ,we bought her afloat and did'nt know this at the time of purchase as she floated on every tide at Woodbridge but we soon realized she would only leave her berth on spring tides and had made her own "hole" in the mud there. This limited our use back then ,work,tides etc.
We had really good times aboard her mainly at weekends and summer holidays and now twenty years on wonder were she is now ?
Has anyone seen her during this time ? Any info on her current whereabouts ?
Any news would be welcome.
Thanks.
Peter
