Picture nicked from Richard in the BCN challenge thread.

 

I have seen a picture of this boat before but would love to know more. It looks old - is it? If so does anyone know its history?

 

Thanks

 

 

Arragh can't get image to work - Thanks Carl!

Here goes for making a huge mistake...

 

No, I don't think she is old. I think she was built around an interesting engine for the owners amusement

 

That's not very helpful, is it?

She made a grand sound leaving Walsall in 2009, the engine seemed to fire about once every six feet

Thanks Richard. It's a very nice boat either way - old or not I wouldn't mind it.

Oh, she's a little beauty allright. Moored between Manchuria and Dove and with Joanna dead ahead, I was starting to wonder how much we had in the bank account...

I too drooled over Joanna, a great looking boat. Looking at the bow it smacked of S M Hudson to me (complete with fake rivets), so I looked it on on Jim Shead

 

JOANNA Built by STEVE HUDSON - Length 14.33 metres (47 feet ) - Beam 2.08 metres (6 feet 10 inches ) - Draft 0.76 metres (2 feet 6 inches ) Metal hull, power of 21. Registered with British Waterways number 506029 as a Powered. Last registration recorded on 11-Apr-2010.

Is that her?

I would think so. It's embarrassing because I've talked to the owner several times about her, but I've either been bombed out after the BCN Challenge, or inebriated at the Pumphouse, and not in a state to remember details :blush:

Mike, the owner also owns the two joey boats he dragged round the BCN. He spend a lot of his time around the BCN going to various clean ups and events. The boat is a Hudson boat powered by a JP2.

Your reputation is ruined ;) ... indeed Joanna is an S M Hudson but if it's any consolation (and I don't think it will be!) I think you have extremely good taste, Sir!

 

Built in 2001 and 47' she is indeed eye candy on water B)

 

Edited to add: Yes as Richard kindly pointed out there is plenty more here http://www.flickr.com/photos/50005139@N08/sets/72157623894848999/

 

Re-edited to add that I really don't have a clue how I did that!

Absolutely, that fore end is so obviously 'new', even without the oversized stick-on rivets :o

 

;)
