There is a new boat for hire on the River Stour.

Dreamboats has christened the latest addition to its fleet Jenny after Jenny Coates who had been treasurer for several years with her family choosing an elegantly designed rowing boat.

The family said Jenny would have been pleased to provide an opportunity for people to discover the delights of rowing on the river Stour in Wimborne, even though she wasn’t all that keen to go on the water herself. Jenny preferred helping with the teas at the fund-raising events. It would appeal to her sense of humour to know that there was a boat named after her.

Regatta Day on 22 August from 12-5pm will be a celebration of Dreamboats’ 21st birthday.  There will be boat races, live music from Paul Michael and Wimborne Marching Band.

There will also be a bar, ice cream van, burgers and hot dogs, homemade cakes and tea, plus stalls and a raffle.

Dreamboats will be open all through the summer, weather permitting.  The rowing boats, canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boars are all available.
