Battlesbridge boat jumble

[flipper]

After a tip off from Mrs FC, we went to the boat jumble at Battlesbridge yesterday. Not knowing what I need for the impending new arrival ... i didnt buy anything, but did get a couple of contacts for engine bits (eg 4 new engine mounts for £100 which seems a good deal)
Quite a lot of peaople there, lots of tat too, but not many people buying stuff by the looks of it.

Anyone else go?

My people will make a formal announcement when appropriate

For now think along the lines of Limbo...25', Long keel. She is arriving Sept 30th in Rochford. Big list of jobs, some of them very big

Indeed...I might give marinas a miss for a bit - especially with a 2ft bowsprit to contend with.

This is going to be a steep learning curve in lots of ways

Patrick, I bet you are just itching to put out the press release

You’ll be fine you just have to remember that she doesn’t steer very well going backwards, it can make three point turns in a marina a spectator sport lol
