...is this the same one mentioned a few pages back which has a distinctive shape to her back cabin and might be a little fat..?

Haha

Im getting on great with her - just my sons and wife complaining about the gunnels! lol ..hopefully just sorted a diesel heater/boiler to go back into her and help with warm air/hot showers through the winter ( previous owner had removed the one fitted at her rebuild ) Shes a really nice little boat

..yeah I know what you mean - doesn't seem to follow the lines of the hull and cabin..still a nice boat tho.. I love my little tug boat but my family not so much - ''..the gunnels are too narrow!'' lol but pretty sure I couldn't sell her quickly enough to buy this Josher..ah well - she will make someone happy Im sure..

Its got a wooden bottom - all good apparently...recently docked, steel work is ok - HA2 - nothing in back cabin and conversion is one room - its a split like Flamingo...looks nice and well priced at £22k...( owner wouldn't swap for mine! lol ) ....the counter was put on by the Lorenze brother's..

..don't think it would take many weeks hire to cover the purchase price...

Thanks Simon....Id hoped it was 3 days from start to finish but I guess its looking like 4 really..?

..its about 5 fields from our home and 3 from my sons scout group lol ..the new moorings seem like a nice place actually..? Whats the flight in Northampton like..?

Willy Watt marina ... ..it will be me and my youngest son ( 11) so apologies if anyone is behind us..

Are there any current stoppages between these two points..? Ive checked CRT and river websites and cant see anything but anyone know anything not listed..? Cheers Jon

...that's how I remember it ... a very basic under cloth 'fit out'..

......well I need a couple of windlass - what kind of money are these worth..?

I lived happily and comfortably in a back cabin for 10 years....but I could stand up! ...that's too low for comfort day in day out surely...

I was once told that Mountbatten would float on wet grass!

WOW! Great picture - and what an adventure

Epsom/Kenelm had concrete poured in when she was converted - and this all dug out again later in her life... ( all prior to my ownership )

4 ...Id love another butty....thought Id got one recently but a row with my boss meant Im job hunting instead! lol

I found a couple with the pair at Bates yard..will try and link here in a moment.. http://www.geograph.ie/photo/4166718

Thanks - I will go and google for more ..she does look lovely

Any pictures of Sirius..?

It was about being subordinate to a supranational, unelected (by the people), foreign based government. ...is that right..? .....take out 'foreign' - although we could argue about the nationality of the ownership of banking, and food within the UK as well as who is paying tax here and contributing to the revenue the country uses to pay for social/education and health services, isn't that what we actually have..? The Government appears to be setting up special ( paid for by us ) deals for the bankers so they can remain within the EU - why are they doing this and who benefits from it...?....how much has been lost to our balance sheet by devaluing the pound and who benefits from that..? The real telling statistic post EU referendum was the enormous number of hits on google the day after from within the UK asking ''What is the EU..?''

...I thought the Town butties were riveted steel not iron..?

They both look nice Does anyone know what sort of nick Ariel is actually in..? ( I can see the tide mark but that isn't necessarily a good barometer ) What's the motors name..? Id have assumed it was a tar boat with the three bands of colour/shape of counter.. ...someone once told me that the small Rickys were liked by the boatmen as they swam/moved really well.....it wasn't a generalisation from them being wooden but specific to the marker ..anyone else heard that ? ..is it possible that their shape was ( really) good in the water or something.. Any other Rickys about..? Any unconverted..?
