paul-the-barge Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks to everyone for the well received encouragement. I had hoped to complete the project a lot sooner than where I am now, but work commitments etc... I am sure most people on here understand that scenario. haha Thanks for the warm welcome, I have looked at this thread many times, particularly on the day I first caught sight of the Creighton on the hard at Redhill. Whilst searching up the make, the underwater pic was the first photo to come up ! Really looking forward to getting her in the water and back in use. The layout of the center cockpit is very practical. Would be great to hear from any other Creighton owners on here. Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I rescued this old girl from the "graveyard" about 18 months ago. Lots done, all the interior was saved, just waiting for the weather to allow the paintwork to recommence. Hope this is a sort of happy ending..... Hope to be ON the water for the summer. ??? Some people have been here for years and can't post pictures, you managed it in your first post, Congratulations! And congratulations on the boat too.

zenataomm Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I sincere thank you to the cast of this thread. I've just read it from beginning to end for the first time. It couldn't have been better if it had been scripted. From disaster to happy ending via daftness concerning maritime law, truly wonderful. This forum at its best.
