  1. We recently had a new build (4 years old) on dock. paid a premium for 2 pack. Mill scale wasn't removed. in the end having seen the rest of the 2 pack fall off due to a slight bit of wind which wouldn't register on the Beaufort scale, ripping it off in sheets, we scabbled and brick cleaner-ed the hull to remove all trace of millscale. and started again. I feel its one of the biggest boatbuilding cons the 2 pack dream, unless they can prove its been properly surface prepped it ain't worth the spondoolies to pay for it.
  2. it an interesting argument with wooden boats. I feel she should, if no one takes her on seriously, be transferred to the off site storage facility at Ellesmere Port as an example of a wooden Josher which so few of are extant. the argument of scrap value is an interesting one. we dismantled Beech in 2020 and are still using the wood that was salvageable , and her ironwork has gone on to be repurposed for other things but being kept as a set. at the boatyard we also have a social space called 'The Beech Hut' made from.....you know what......
  3. it depends...... IF this is how BW did the work then all too many get chopped and a modern stern is put on, and more examples of this period of history is lost. I suspect she would have been like this longer than as a working butty. I can't remember which butty she was, the information will be there somewhere.
  4. we use Craftmaster when we paint tunnel bands at Langley Mill.......
  5. i don't think they have ever not been for sale. They're due a docking now though.
  6. Congratulations on Margaret's new purchase.......................😂
  7. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  8. I have a feeling there are several craft around the Pratt's bridge area which weren't day boat, off the top of my head there's a Knobstick motor, Silver Jubilee maybe? and also the tug Dart. I also believe there are the remains of an Anderton horse boat, Somewhere on here the late Laurence Hogg detailed them, i'll see if i can find the post. Found it..... Kind regards Dan

  10. the Josher is the "Aster" i believe, stored at Bradley workshops. currently sunk but the hull didn't look too bad in the photo's i've seen.
  11. yep, the dynamo has been removed from the engine between the sales particulars being prepared and the handover. very strange.
