From the mask he has got on, possibly a slow cure 2 pack epoxy paint.

Not sure what blue it is, as I am told it is non-standard, but there is a tin of paint coming with the car. And it is a 1972 reg MG Midget. They only produced the MG with the round wheel arch for a couple of years, and never on the Austin Healey. Rachel, the Breton language is very close to Welsh, to the extent that I know of Welsh speaking friends who have had understandable conversations with Breton speakers. And the Bretons are happy not to be thought French!

3 posts and all a little "strange"!

We quite regularly do the run from Calais to the Guipry area, since we are twinned with a town near there, and have found that the easiest way is the A16, A29, A13, A84 to Rennes, and then follow the Nantes signs. Love driving in France and keep meaning to get a Tag. Will need when we take this over next year! Friends were cruising in that area in July and had a wonderful time but did get caught out with a failed lock or bridge in Redon which caused them to take a slght diversion. If you do go to Redon we can recommend the Patates et Campagnie restaurant on the Quai Jean Bart, which is where the public moorings are and the O'Shannon pub by the lock where the canal crosses the river, a short walk away.

Probably not!

Wrapped another plastic sheet around it, did they?

Get some cheap talcum powder and shake that over the area.

Looks OK. One point I haven't seen raised, but have you thought where you are going to moor your boat? If that one is in a marina it might be worth finding out if it can be transferred to you.

Is this to be used for holiday use, or as a home?

Never assume! It makes an ass of you and me.

A Power Boat licence isn't very applicable to the canals. So no actual experience of canal boating then?

Bloody autocorrect!!!? Boatbuilder!!

Exactly, but that doesn't seem to be what the OP wanted or was able to understand, and why I and others suggested he needed to actually talk to bodybuilders BEFORE he did anything.
