The bestest all rounder?
      26/06/2008 11:14

I wonder how the Forum feel and what their views are.

I have always considered the Broom Crown as being the best all rounder ever built. Bearing in mind the initial design was launched in 1978/79 it is still as fresh as a daisy and makes some of today's jelly moulds look sick. The accomodation is superb and it is equally at home on the sea or river. The boat handling qualities make the most cack handed skipper look like an expert. They achieve a moderate turn of speed at sea and happily trundle along at low river speeds.
I genuinely believe that if they were still building them today there'd be a good market for them especially if fitted with modern low weight hi-performace engines.

What about you? Can you honestly say there's a better all rounder out there? Don't talk of Dutch Steel, the are nice looking but they all roll on wet grass and are not that happy at sea.
