....and they have a boat lift at the yard. Sounds a good plan to me, edit to add ....just in case they wanted to cruise the Lanky whilst here and go back over the Ribble in September. It's a terrific trip.
Andrew Crook at Brayzel in Garstang, on the Lancaster canal, you'd need to come over the Ribble link but it would be worth it. Master craftsman in wood.

Although the previous 'Naughty Fox' had an odd style of posting, he was and still is a very nice guy. Generous and warm hearted. That Bukh engine was cherished and cosseted. The new Naughty Fox sounds to have a neatness trend too. All good.
Check out Lower Park Marina, Barnoldswick. Roughly midway between Skipton and Blackburn, nice and quiet, lovely surroundings and fantastic management. Currently £150 to £180 a month.
Thing is I dont think it was a "throwaway post" I think you were either hoping somebody might help or suggest that it was perfectly reasonable to ask that "potential tow boat" for help. As others have suggested, unless its a dire emergency asking for a tow just because you missed a winding hole is not reasonable, just as asking a local house for electric to weld your rudder wasn't. Now you are suggesting that it was it only to open general discussion smacks of a get out when you had replies that weren't favourable. If you have no doubt about doing it just get it done and dont make excuses. Good luck.
I love this and the colour! I also remember being with my Father and seeing the 'Jensen Interceptor' in a showroom in London, we pressed our noses to the plate glass windows for nearly half an hour, what a fantastic name for a car! Never forgotten it.
Okay, now this has turned into great old car pictures, Ill add one of mine.
My Father built this 'Fairthorpe' and using a Triumph Herald engine. The black and white image shows it in build and I remember 'helping' and the smell of glass fibre and glue takes me right back! The rather tatty picture shows the completed car, dated sometime in 1962.
