Still meet in Kitson Road? (sigh)

I was a Cub Scout in Barnes c.1975....does that count :)

Nice looking craft, you did well to miss the wet stuff from the air, been piddling all afternoon in Sussex!

I was with Seajet, sat in a pub in Bermondsey yesterday lunchtime. We saw a Narrow Boat enjoying the tide.

Good Luck. I spent £795 more than this, but otherwise Ditto! Sometimes ya just have to get on with it. Good luck.

My Osprey, recently acquired came with the name; 'Elvira Madigan' and I am keeping it as such. Just for information, Elvy currently resides at Langstone, but before that She raced about off Poole apparently. Although this name was given by the last owner. She is fibreglass and the Osprey...

I wasn't meaning Seajet :) But I was at Hayling Island this afternoon, meeting Geoff Holt MBE - another lovely Chap.

I have met and sailed with Mr Seajet, numerously :D A Gent, he be. And we met in a Sussex ale house first...

Very touching and wonderfully apt. RIP.

Got this last month, she dates from c.1965 Osprey MkII, "Elvira Madigan"

Mr google suggests that there over 143 bridges along the Thames and it's about 215 miles... can anyone confirm this, please? I'm interested from Lechlade to the salty stuff - thanks!

I'm not far from the Dock, will take a gander, ta!

I have a 22ft sailboat, with a 4hp outboard. I had a problem with a Spring tide last year approaching Weymouth, which the general feeling on here was due to the Hull being extremely 'dirty'. It is a Bilge keel.

Amazing, daft but amazing. Very British attitude, or was, "crack on with it!"

As the newly appointed General Secretary Of The Ghost Club (London), in our 150th year.....I see no reason that boats shouldn't be haunted. As a believer that is, naturally :D
