COMMENTS

As far as we know Rebecca is the only Bates Astral currently being used in Ireland. We keep her in Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh.
Apparently she was the the exhibition boat for Bates at the London Boat Show in 1981.We have had her for about 4 years & use her all year round lifting her out every second year. It would be nice to hear from other Bates Astral / Norman 266 owners.
