For 20 years , I have owned Lady Lucy, but now – sadly – she is up for sale.
The joy of ownership is gone, I am left with nothing but bills and issues with insurers intent on stopping my weekend cruises that have been a feature of my summers since 2006 when the boat’s last restoration was completed.
We have illness in the family and great sadness, the good times will return but it is time for Lady Lucy to find a new owner and start a new chapter in her 77 year history,
If you would like to look at the boat with a view to purchase you can start here. It is on the list of boats for sale along with Nigel and Sheila’s Tobillie.
It is sad to see the boat, normally festooned with flags, beanbags and people , so bare
My memories of the boat are more like this!
The Lady Lucy Facebook page is full of kind tributes. I publish Simon’s first as Simon saved Lady Lucy from being crushed in Hambledon Lock
Thanks too to all the kind memories which I will collect and publish on here. If you have been on the boat or seen the boat, please contribute in the comments.
So sorry, I hope the illnesses and sadness are removed in a good way real soon.
Dear Henry
So sorry to hear about your family having illness. Just to wish everyone well as soon as possible
Sorry to read this, we had a lovely time with you, wishing you and your family well.
Sorry to hear this, but she has brought you and many others some wonderful memories to treasure over the years. You welcomed me and my 10 year old son one year for the Henley Royal Regatta, a day neither of us will forget. My sons highlight was when you allowed him to take the captains seat and steer the boat as well as manage the ropes at the locks.
