Is there a doctor in the house ?

[Madhatter]

I think I need serious help as I seem to be suffering from ugly boat syndrome !!
I just found this and thought what an ugly boat, then it dawned on me that it was roomy,cheap, and looks like loads of fun as a pirate ship, I could have loads of fun with the grand kids around the bay and scare the pants off the locals

Also just to confirm my insanity I have a Seadrift 20

[/IMG](photo of it in Torquay harbour before I bought it )

PLEASE HELP ME

Is the Seadrift 20 the one with the lawn on the foredeck? if so, have you now manicured it, as you can hardly play bowls on grass that long.

 

[Zen Zero]

is the pirate ship made of ferrocement? it looks as though it ought to be

 

[DanTribe]

Buckler 24 I think?
It looks as if somebody loves it, anyway.

Grass is growing well and the goat loves being on board (milk for long trips)
only kidding

You can always seek out a psychiatrist or two in the Lounge

There is a Buckler 24 on Windermere. Mrs Lakesailor thinks it looks nice.

Oh dear.

Oh dear !! indeed

Oh dear !! indeed

Always thought it looked like a boat the Pikeys might have

That Buckler looks in better nick than most I've seen. Although perhaps someone just slapped some new paint on to help get rid of the ugly thing

I can see the appeal, as long as you don't take your sailing (or yourself) too seriously.

don't let these nautical aesthetes get at you !. That boat may not look racy, but I bet you could have a lot of fun just pottering around, and there's a lot more room for fiends and fishing/picnic stuff.

Have you seen this ?

The grandkids would love it! I know my boy would...

 

[Fantasie 19]

...and I like your Seadrift as well.... with or without the grass...

 

[neilf39]

I love it too. You can call it the Black Pig and dress up as Capt. Pugwash.

This one I believe.

The liberal application of large England flags hardly helps it's case.....

The E C F would love it for their pirate weekend!
