Yes i prob shouldnt have assumed carolla had its original national when removed in the 60s. And was more than likely fitted to another boat. But the only info i had was a national being removed from corolla but no number.

I think £10k is just the current bid. I doubt that is actually the price it is for sale for, no?

true, but even just bidding would see me sleeping in the shed. Id still be tempted. cloud9.gif

The bidder may have placed a much higher bid, you wont know until someone else bids and the price goes up with the original bidder still leading or if he is replaced it will have exceeded his maximum.

 

Good luck to the seller, I hope the location is wrong as theres no water in the Severn today to float that draught!

It's rained overnight Laurence! But coracles weren't used on the Severn Gorge for no reason. Beats me how they ever got loaded barges to and from from Ironbridge. And when there is water - you'll be doing 6mph downhill!!!

 

Very desirable boat if you have £50k to spare.

Think this might be a new one...

 

Icebreaker BALTIC now listed on the duck:

What is a Bukhara diesel then? Google gives no obvious clues.

 

I saw this a couple of days ago. Lovely little boat, but not looking anything like as smart as when sold by its previous owner, unfortunately.

I suspect the speelchucker got hold of Bukh, which, I think, is what I spied when I saw it a few years ago.

Think its ment to be quite a economical engine but yes look up bukh (think there pronounced book)

The engine is actually a Bukh which makes it a very fast boat. Baltic is a nice little boat and charmingly fitted out but is rather unstable and cabin needs recladding.

 

Not a bad price though.

Might not look as smart, but it's in better condition.

and cabin needs recladding.

 

It's not actually that bad. Needs a couple of patches and a couple of bits of trim replacing but it's pretty sound. Unfortunately it had previously been repainted and no-one had bothered to strip it back; there were large paintwork bubbles. It looked pretty, but was doing more harm than good.

Extremely quick and nimble boat, I too am checking for odd bundles of £50s down the back of the sofa...


There is a rather special and unique delight in cruising about in a boat short enough to turn anywhere you like!

I'm checking too, so far £3.74 has been located, plus the customary boiled sweet RLWP left last time he was here.

 

Not that half sucked one he takes everywhere with him?

Yep, Victor Vectis had spat it out three times before that and I think the late, much-lamented Viola y Gath had licked it a few times, too.

That's where I left it! It's a family heirloom is that, three generations have had a go at it
