good god!

you cant be serious.

 

[Rappey]

I am.. he used scrap bits of wood to make the transom, corrugated steel to bend round for the hull, tubes of silicon and some fixings... i really dont know the cost but probably something like £15
Its not like he is going to sea in it, just rowing in calm waters to raise money for charity..
Former army major to row along Chichester canal for 100 miles in homemade boat

 

[fisherman]

I made a raft from two 6m lengths of 150mm drain, with a simple ply bridge and seat, oars and rowlocks. It went like the clappers. Took it up the river later, a chap passing by in a yacht said, in very plummy tones "Oh, my brother made something very like that, so you needn't think you're unique". Son was lost for words fortunately.

No, but he told me he rowed it on Chi Harbour, before he rowed it on the canal.

Ah guess he has asked for a Female crew to accompany him on his escapades afloat ?

Good on him, just shows you do not need to go to a Boat Show or Marina to 'get afloat' , mind you, for the East Coast amoungst us, it puts Andy S into another catagory for sure, bet he would not entertain it on his showgrounds at Woodbridge ? {#
