Historic commercial boats

[RLWP]

Tawny is on the bank at the moment, next to an ex coal boat

 

Both are Pinders boats, Tawny is two years older than the coal boat

 

We shall get her into the HNBC yet!

Come on Richard.

You're just after that 10% 'historic' reduction in 'TO's' licence fee!

[RLWP]

Faced with the consequences of a 30 year survey, too bloody right I do!

All you need to do is flog coal off Tawny

She's been a trawler and an oil tanker - isn't that enough*?

* well, a tin of sardines and a couple of hundred litres of oil on separate occasions, surely that counts

[TheBiscuits]

I wonder if Pete can get Achilles in the HNBC ... I'll suggest it to him

If you had not had the survey then you would have different consequences.

 she was  floating fine when i passed her 2 weeks ago. Blame the surveyor. They make boats sulk.

Hmm, you should see her close up out of the water

 

Hire boaters don't half give a hull a pounding. She's also managed to repeat her party trick of two years ago and reveal a small hole in the hull just as she arrives in the yard. Not as critical as the one in the rudder tube this time

Oh. That sounds bad? You've prompted me to find someone to look at Melaleuca when she comes out in October. She's 30 too and it's 11 years since the last one.

So don't be so mysterious!

What's the "ex coal boat"?

 

A "modern build" presumably?  Is it "in the HNBC", as you put it?

[Ex Brummie]

Just arranging a survey for next years insurance at 30 years. & years ago the results were good, but at an approx £ 800 before considering any work, I'll be looking at the funds closely.

Your powers of deduction are waning, a boat two years younger than Tawny is a modern build

My powers of deduction place the "ex coal boat" as THE STOKIE 

[Tim Lewis]

I did wonder why you were in the hardstanding, I assumed it was because you could look down on MtB’s boat ?

[Rickent]

Pinner is moored behind me at Barrow upon soar.

There are surely several candidates, without any more information available.

We had our 80 year survey in april .. but we had already spent the $$$$$ 4 years before. It was noticable that having her 2 packed had prevented any more pitting as the paint got into the pits and sealed them.

Could have been me steering.

 

Do I get the blame?

I've all but been persuaded, mainly due to the orange blotches on the hull, to have 'RW' grit blasted, zinced and 2 packed this autumn.

I agree. Built by John Pinder somewhere around 1990 for Dave and Brioni Sharman, and powered by an Indian built Ruston and Hornsby twin cylinder diesel engine. Sadly, Dave passed away only a few years later, but Brioni continued to work the Stokie as a coal and diesel boat on the K&A with John Shard. They sold it, quite some while ago, I saw it quite recently and it was looking in a very sad state.

I doubt it, as far as I know John Pinder only built one working boat which was the Stokie, and that was a conversion from a partially built Recreational boat which was a cancelled order.
