I wondered why she was ashore for so long, she is normally on a Pin Mill mooring

Owner was using his Red Fox last season - shallow draught more suitable for small child/beaches/creeks etc. Given the carp season last year it was probably a good call...

We looked at her before we bought Phoenix.... lovely boat, but (IMHO) a strange layout below.... and very little storage, especially shelving... which wouldn't have worked for us as a potential liveaboard.

If she's the one i'm thinking of, I towed her from Harwich back to Pin Mill in about 2005 after her engine packed up... didn't realise she was a ferro until the tow line went taut and we stopped dead!!!!

that's kind of what I thought, but you just can't tell until you get on board and try it for size.

That could be about right. Lost patience with the old engine (mercedes or bukh?) and re-engined with the Volvo that year...

Harwich LB Stn to SYH, IIRC
But you're right: we don't speak of it.
A true gentleman never tells.

Not tried to tow a ferro boat, but on one of my first outings in Karouise I towed a Westerly Ketch into Bradwell. Was impressed what the 10hp could cope with!
I quite like Jacqueline A too!! Would you consider part x of a Cutlass 27?

We are around this weekend if you fancy a chat/putting a face to a profile.
We used to have a steel boat before Mermaid - a Robert Tucker. We lived on her for eight years. Still live on board now.....

thanks - we will come and find you. Whereabouts?
I think we met before once - was it you that played in a band at Sixpence's pub? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
