Maybe everyone just needs to take a deep breath and calm down over this telephone reference. I put my number in my post being fully aware of what I was doing and the potential risks involved. Also, for information, it is not possible to edit my post, even if I wanted to - I tried to add to it and there was no edit feature available. Meanwhile, thanks to the posters who actually replied to the point of my post (ie whether the OP had bought the boat or not). If anyone does find out more relevant information about the current owner of my old boat please let me know, as I have lots of history and useful information about her. Regards, Nick PS If anyone is interested, here’s a picture of Shilton heading towards Southend-on-Sea during my crossing from the Thames to the Medway.

Hi Pet, I have just found this thread and am interested to know if you went ahead with purchasing Shilton. I owned this boat and lived on it for a few years in the 1990s and know a lot about it and it’s history. It was me who brought it to the Medway. I would be happy to share information and advice, as I had the boat renovated years ago, at which time it was immaculate. I saw her again about 5 years ago and was heartbroken to see what subsequent owners had done to her, and the dreadful state of disrepair she was in. I really do hope you took her on and have succeeded in returning her to her former glory. Best wishes, Nick 07527 436630
