Hopefully with three boats already the buyer wasn't MTB! I really really hope you are wrong. If it does come off, I think I really should get first refusal on it!

magnetman Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Yes but would you fit it to Sickle or keep it on land somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post matty40s Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think it needs to be fitted to the offside of the A45 bridge in Braunston, Bridge 90, to stop any more widebeams travelling the N Oxford. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't buy it just as a garden decoration - I already have an HA3 in my garage without adding to my ex ice-boat clutter! The problem is I have just spent a small fortune having Sickle repainted in a livery that was only applied after Sickle lost the ram, so on balance I think I'd probably pass up the opportunity of owning said ram. It isn't identical to that Sickle's would have been either, being braced at a different height up the hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) You said you wanted first refusal on it. ETA the bridge narrowing option seems quite a good option. Whatever happens I would hope that people will still be able to see it. Obviously best if it remains on the boat.. A little birdie told me that the town class motor with the Perkins HD engine in it might be up for sale soon.

David Mack Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Rivetted hull claimed to date from 1910, but BSC says built by Harris, so maybe they shortened/motorised it.

Definitely a Project Boat: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312978633177 It is worth reading the text of the advert for a bit of amusement... For example.... " There has been interest by the backcountry museum" and " If once finished an completed authentically I believe it qualifies for license exemption" (for which I guess you need to define "authentically"! ?) 38 minutes ago, Athy said: "RIMA stans for Royal Academy for Magical Arts". Shurely shome mishtake here? No no mistake, have you not read it?... Quote " R. I . M. A stands for the Royal Academy for Magical Arts an she had been previously owned Ali Bongo or Shriek of Araby, William Oliver Wallace,the children's TV magician. " As I say, worth reading the whole text, if you haven't. I'm still trying to work out if this is genuine, or a spoof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noted that the previous boatyard owner would need removal, for example. But I can't see how RIMA can stand for Royal Academy for Magical Arts. Can you?
