Answers the question about how to strap Sickle to a much bigger boat...

[Ray T]

OK,

 

Can't resist.

 

Just going through a disc of photos supplied to me relating to "Sickle".

 

This is before our ownership - honestly!

As the boat on theleft appears to be Sweden, We were moored at Stoke Bruerne a couple of years ago and Sweden was moored in front of us. As a couple of "old dears" passed one said to t'other "Look that boat has come all the way from Sweden".

Yes, but only if it is unconverted and unsheeted.

 

Not possible for a boat with cloths on, of course.

 

The other boats are Erewash butty "Cedar", which Sickle was towing around for quite a while, and, as Ray says, Seddon's motor Sweden - a wooden boat.

Exactly...

The butty's mast should in theory be strong enough for towing. I breasted my Dad's 50ft modern boat using my mast on the motor and it held perfectly well. (Without the help of an Anser Pin).

I don't think that they were creating a bow wave

This is Vesta on the Severn near Gloucester back in the 60's
