I wonder Chris, how well do you speak Dutch?

 

[Guest]

You have a "Mayland Family Sixteen". Maximum engine you can fit is 25hp. Longshaft. The boat weighs 410 kilos. She is a very old boat and they are not made any more.

Re: hear hear

Not a bad shot at all at the language, and certainly more intelligible than Phonetic Estuary English. I'm off to France soon, and nearly everyone will do their darndest to speak English at me the moment they find out I'm English, even though I'm not too bad. Can you imagine a Dutch or French boat landing in Brighton, Cowes or Yarmouth and having anyone at the marina attempt to welcome them in their language. Me neither.
