London innit! 

Just repainted internal accomodation on the boat. Linen.

It wont be going anywhere near lunnun, but with a minute extension cabin you make the best of what you have.

Its linen ok not white .

67ft tug based on Yarwoods large Northwich

 

Based on a Large Northwich

 

Cant seem to see many similarities!!

 

 

That passed me up near Henley the other day. I thought it was very displeasing to look at. That step in the side deck really doesn't do it any aesthetic favours !! 

 

It just looks "wrong" to me anyway. 

 

4L2 is nice but a bit big even for a heavy NB.

There's no washers on it so it can't be a copy!!

I don't like the offset cabin at the front either  and the step in the gunwhales - it all looks contrived.

Neither bow nor stern looks anything like a Northwich, and the step in the gunwale is a disaster!

Sorry, but I won't be paying £125k (or anything at all really) for that!!

OMG, yet another boat based on a large Northwich - not.These boats look as if they were built by people who had heard about these mythical craft but had not actually see one. 

I have a 200 year old book about animals of the know world and it is obvious that the person illustrating the book has not seen some of the subjects in the flesh as it were.

 

I feel sorry for the people who really believe that they have paid out for an accurate replica of an historic hull shape.

The only thing that I can see that it has in common with a large Northwich is that it is built in steel and floats; are there any other points that I might have missed?

One persons dream, another's nightmare. Over-engined, (though nice) it belongs in a lorry. It's the suburban dwellers floating home extension to the suburban home. So much off-setting. It's all over the top - in the wrong direction. But that's from a traditionalists point of view. Someone will love it for a while, then move it on. "Yes, we had a traditional style boat once, it was based upon a Northwich . . ."

 

That base plate design at the fore end is awful. Just as well it's underwater. Back end is better.

Certainly a very odd looking boat - I guess someone loves it?

Esmeralda cared for Quasimodo.  

I don't recall her describing him as Sacha Distel though.
