kingfisher1 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Hi I have just bought a boat for a spot of fishing.It's a rana batten 15ft grp norweigen built.Does anybody no anything or any info on these boats.I'm going to be launching at muddyford and fishing inshore around christchurch bay . Quote
Jsplace Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Firstly welcome to the forum As far as your boat is concerned though, I for one have never heard of it. However in Norwegian "Rana" is a large district in northern Norway and "Baten " is Norwegian for boat. Sorry I can't be of any more help. All the best Jason. Quote
Brian Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 I used to fish and dive from one, out of Kimmeridge about 35 years ago. Quote
kingfisher1 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Hi thanks for the replys .I don't no much about them before I bought it I had never heard of one.It's along the same lines as an orkney its got nice lines for a small boat . Quote
kingfisher1 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Hopefully will be a stable platform for fishing I think this boat is fairly old .I had a 12.5 bonwitco a couple of years ago but just to small to get out unless it was flat calm.I am fairly new to fishing this area I used to run a commercial fishing boat out of looe cornwall back in the mid 90's Also angling trips in the summer.my grandad used to fish out of poole a few good years ago.
