I received a lovely message from Queren Stewart, telling me lots of information about the guardships. Thank you Queren, very much appreciated. There are actually normally 10 guardships round the course. One at each of the turning points so that's 4, one at potter bridge, one at Acle bridge, two at Thurne mouth just on the thurne and on the down river leg of the Bure. One on st Benet's straight near the entrance to South Walsham dyke One at Horning Church. Each guardship is manned by at least 4 people with radios, first aid gear, and a rescue dory..
wow that was alot of yachts , i bet some of those hire boats wished they'd moored in the marina lol , with the yachts coming so close . thanks for going to all that trouble videoing for us all , 😉 it was brilliant . 👍 xx
My brother and I were in the Norfolk Punt with the number 100 sails on at 22:55. Unfortunately didn't finish but glad that we retired when we did at around 8, because it saved us a night in the cold sitting there waiting for the tide to turn.
Wonderful, I’m so pleased you found yourselves on here. It’s always wonderful watching everyone sailing past. ⛵️👏🏻🙌 Thank you for watching, good luck in this years race .
excellent coverage Lisa! I bet you had a great time watching all those yachts. the one at 8:30 made me giggle it looked as is they were thinking about the tiny side arch at one point (yes I know they weren't really!)
I loved the pictures at (4:05) onwards, of the yacht sails above the reedbeds, that's quintessential Norfolk broads to me. But, where is it, I've been racking my brain, trying to think?. I know camera lenses can shorten or lengthen the field of view, but this one really has got me, HELP PLEASE before the few brain cells that I have left finally explode 🤣... There are always a mix of yachts racing in the '3RR', from the sporty light weight composite racing machines, to wooden built hired Norfolk broads cruising yachts. I'll have to 'nail my colours to the mast' (pun intended) and say, I would be rooting for the traditional broads hire yachts. Is there a 'handicap' system used to decide the winner, or are there just different classes of boat that compete against each other?... Thank you once again Leasa, for putting in the time and effort to bring us such a lovely film... 🙂
Haha, I was stood on the footbridge at Potter and faced Ludham way. It looked like Sail ballet from where I was. So elegant and graceful gliding along. I do hope I can find other similar events on the Broads to watch, as it was a spectacular day. I’m not sure of the rules etc. I’ve put the results on my Facebook page (New Name Same Me ) if that helps ? Martin will know I’m sure. There is nothing about boats , he doesn’t know. 😃 ⛵️⛵️⛵️
John, Thank you so much . I felt once I got to 1000 subscribers that I had to take this more seriously and really try to improve. I’m totally self taught, so I’m constantly researching and learning. Presently, I’m trying to improve my thumbnails. (The photo you see advertising my latest video). They need to really stand out but mine don’t . There’s so much involved in making a video. There’s lots hidden away that viewers never see. I’m pleased you’ve noticed a difference, you’ve made my day. Thank you 😘
Great coverage. Hard to be at all places at once. I am shattered and have no intention in doing it again. That will probably change by this time next year.
Goodness, you took part, wow well done to you in all that heat. Are you in my video? It is difficult to be everywhere and especially with parking an issue at some places. Acle bridge for instance. Yet I was the only person watching at Upton 🤷♀️⛵️⛵️. Hope you’ve now got a totally free week to recover and that you achieved the result you wanted 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⛵️
I was actually stood on Ludham Bridge when I filmed the boat going around the marker. Such a shame the wind disappeared for you all. It was fabulous to watch though. Thank you ⛵️
I had a gentleman contact me who was on the three rivers race claiming to have seen the famous ghostly boat mooring on a misty morning next to St Benet’s Abbey
When I was at Upton around 2pm watching, it was very breezy as you can see in the video. Potter seemed ok but my last place to film from was Ludham Bridge and yes there was 0 wind. Such a shame. Poor Daisy ⛵️

That was lovely, some really skilled crews. I must go and witness this myself. Thanks for taking the time to video all this x
This wasn’t this years race.
Thank you for watching. ⛵️⛵️⛵️
They are astonishly beautiful to watch. ♥️⛵
Most definitely, very graceful too ⛵️

The most magical sight. ⛵️⛵️
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Just wonderful, your filming and editing is just getting better and better. Take care....John

Superb video, a lot of work went into that!
Thank you Martin ⛵️⛵️⛵️
What a fantastic video!

There is another bridge in ludham as well x
There is indeed but they didn’t go under it. The yellow marker was outside the boat yard before the bridge.
@@NewnameSameme ahh ok. I raced this year but sadly due to the wind we retired before we rounded ludham
I was actually stood on Ludham Bridge when I filmed the boat going around the marker. Such a shame the wind disappeared for you all. It was fabulous to watch though. Thank you ⛵️
@@NewnameSameme it was my first race, what an event !
@@georgeschofield906 1st of many ⛵️
Great video 😊 - this three rivers race passes by St Benet’s Abbey too I believe?
Yes it does indeed, you are quite right. ⛵️⛵️
I had a gentleman contact me who was on the three rivers race claiming to have seen the famous ghostly boat mooring on a misty morning next to St Benet’s Abbey
I think you need to get yourself in a boat and go and investigate 🛶
😅 haha maybe I will
We was there 6.45 min sitting at the front of our boat watching
Yes, you were directly opposite me .... and then the picnic boats returned 😂 couldn’t see a thing. Haha
In the opening minutes, red sails, No 79 is Daisy. (We didn't manage to finish! :-( )
Oh no, what happened?
@@NewnameSameme - ran out of wind!
When I was at Upton around 2pm watching, it was very breezy as you can see in the video. Potter seemed ok but my last place to film from was Ludham Bridge and yes there was 0 wind. Such a shame. Poor Daisy ⛵️
