moored at wadden lane near Trowbridge.

You look very low in the water. Ive moved on so i will check back tomorrow but you might want to pop over.

 

Maybe a call to CRT? they can contact the owner using the licence info.

Far too excited to sleep - as of today (technically yesterday) this is my boat!

 

(And yes, the survey etc was good, she is just very sleek looking! We're moored between two other boats and the gunwales are all at about the same height but the appearance is definitely different).

A thread revived! So you've bought Merlin? Is she your first boat?

Yes! Sort of like googling your own name looking up your boat on here. 

 

My first boat and all a bit of an adventure ?

How splendid, well done.

The internet shows a 54-footer called Merlin for sake at Great Heywood. I suspect that's not yours though, as she doesn't look low-slung as suggested above.

Thank you!

And yes, different Merlin. This is Merlin No. 1 a 60ft 1986 Braine tug. 

 

Edited to add: quite a popular name I think (without the "No 1"bit anyway) so I checked the registered number is the same as Matty40s quoted above.

Of course, now I've read the old thread and refreshed my memory, that becomes clear. She sounds a very distinguished boat. Have you any photos of her?

Here we go! Recent snaps of the tug. The lounge and galley are all Farrow and Ball, boatman's cabin much more traditionally cosy. Rather fun combo.

Can't believe I don't have any engine pictures yet - those are possibly rather important to proper boaters!
