I have another new boat

[CliveG]

I have just driven down to Surrey to collect another new boat. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I brought her home with the Range Rover.

Anyone want to guess what she is?

I will post photos later

A Green Onion (also by Julian Everitt)???

 

[FullCircle]

Actually to suit your new mooring (I'll be up for a pint in Ramsholt Arms, told you so) I suspect you have bought a tender.

 

[suse]

will it fit under the house?

Full marks to FullCircle.

You will never guess what she was in her last life!
We have not decided yet weather to paint out her markings.
Will they dissuade someone from "borrowing" her.

We will be on the water during the 1st weekend of May.
Come and visit and I will buy the 1st round in the Ramsholt Arms.

Only if I take it off the roof of the Range Rover. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I see you are still using that photo as your avatar.

I painted my old tub yellow. It got pinched, but when I rang the Marine Cops, they knew where it was straight away......
so I had to go and collect it rather than claiming for a new one..... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'd leave it as it is, it is very distinctive. I'll look out for it in the dinghy park. Re your previous post. Did you get the cutless bearing out?

That's easy, you nicked it off a park lake somewhere! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[CliveG]

I think that I will leave it as is.

I am sure that we will get some leg pulling over it.

In response to Searush - you are nearly correct.
We got it from a company that has replaced the boats on Basingstoke boating lake.
This was the last of the rowing boats to be sold.
They still have quite a few paddle boats available but we didn't fancy one of them on the Deben.

We haven't got the bearing out yet.
I am awaiting a response from my father-in-law on the puller design I sent to him.

 

[kengill]

erm How do you design a piece of string? - Thats wot the pros use around here

 

[Blueboatman]

If this addition to the fleet really is the answer to all your boating needs,I wonder if you have thought of a slight name change? [image]

[CliveG]

Puller design as submitted.

A bit more complicated then string I grant you.

If you want to pop round and show me how to get the dammed thing out with a bit of string I would be most please to see you /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[CliveG]

I would be happy for you to carry out the artwork for that in 3D at 1 to 1 scale on the real thing.
It would have to be a paint job as I don't think a sticker would last long.
Any time in the next 4 weeks will do. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I now only have 3 boats although the 4th one is still here awaiting delivery to the new owner.

Clive,

i'll have a wager, that by the end of the season you'll have her on a swinging mooring... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[CliveG]

I assume that you are talking about 32.

Your on.

If I have her on a swinging Mooring you owe me a pint.
If not I owe you one. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Payment due at the Ramsholt Arms.
Access must be via the Deben Bar.
