Galician “ratty”

[Wansworth]

Let me clarify.....you can’t hide the big ticket items.....it’s probably the wife who cuts the cheque......but the little stuff...that adds up incredibly quick...when you walk into the chandler looking to lavish a little love on your boat.....this is what you hide

I am of Scottish decent and can avoid those shiney trinkets ,besides there isnochanderlery only a ferretería

Ah but Mrs W knows that the health of her husband is paramount
And if fettling makes him happy…

Yes, but someone like Wansy who jumps from one hobby to the next…who makes rapid rash financial decisions without thinking about things…without seeking the advice of his peers…a wife knows that is the sort of husband who has to be stopped for his own good

And when we got our boat with unknown service history of the engine, a new timing belt, and while the flywheel was off to do that, a new thermostat and gasket.

Don't forget a tool kit for the engine e,g important spanners, plug spanner, spare plugs etc.

I can see Wansey whittling a sculling oar and a yuloe for this fine vessel too

How long should the oar (yuloh?) be? Would a standard wooden 3 metre oar from any French equipment catalogue do the job or does it need to be stronger?

28 1/2 fibreglass yacht with square transom and external rudder where it would appear to fit nicely.
