Looking forward to our NB for 2012

[Ace 01]

We paid our deposit to Cheshire Boats (Lymm) on Tuesday for a semi trad NB It's a sail away with extras, we're so excited and can't wait, should be ready by the end of June. We've got a place booked at Caen Hill Marina in Devizes so that we can finish her before eventually becoming CCs.

 

The boat will be blacked and undercoated so we will have to find someone to paint her - any recommendations? Will be looking at having it done around Lymm or down towards the Midlands before taking her home to Devizes.

Here's to happy sailing. We visited Caen Hill recently, it looks a lovely spot. We know the managers Rob and Cara from Saul days.

One day the canals will come through Swindon!

Cheers, Rob

Hi Rob

 

We thought Rob and Cara were really nice when we met them, they seem to have things well sorted. Swindon has two small stretches, currently not linked to each other or the system unfortunately, it will be some way off until they are but as you say "one day".

 

Thankfully the K & A is now open in both directions with the bridge at Bath being reopened to navigation and no longer any water shortage around Crofton thanks to all this lovely weather

 

Cheers

Congratulations on that, must be a great feeling.

 

As far as painting goes I can strongly recommend Oxon Boat Painting, who I think are forum members. They did a great job for us a couple of years ago. My link
