More from a hairyplane. Tilbury. Dungeness - spot the boat. London.

Nice pictures! The top one looks more like London Gateway than Tilbury. Bottom one looks like Thurrock - you can make out the QE2 bridge & the (now demolished) chimney at Littebrook power station, but the giveaway is the Cobelfret in Fiddler's Reach.
I won't argue about #2 - if you say it's Dungeness then I'll take your word for it!

I’m sure you’re right about Tilbury. I picked the name out of a hat.

Final 2 photos from my trip, both showing Ramsgate Harbour from unusual positions. Heading for home tomorrow.

Found myself in Fox's Ipswich recently and saw this lovely new wooden boat.
Anybody know anything about it ?
Being a cat rig the mast was a work of art- apart from everything else.

Very nice. I wonder if she's by the Spirit boatyard?

Good thought. She has an Yanmar inboard and judging by the rudder, possibly a lifting keel. She is in the Oyster area so possibly something related .

This seal at Pin Mill seemed to find my dinghy a comfy spot to spend the night.

Finally - a PROPER ECF thread. And I am going to go afloat in an hour or so.

It is open for any forum member to start proper threads.

Halcyon 27.

Yes, looks like it. I am curious! The genoa shows the symbol of Saturn Sails of Largs; my Dad's Halcyon 27 sailed in the Clyde for a while, and there must be an outside chance that this is she! Did @tillergirl get the name by any chance?
Sailing with the lee rail awash is absolutely typical of Halcyon 27s!

My father also had a halcyon 27 bought in 1969 but after two seasons he sold it and bought a hull and deck of a freeward I think he had more fun fitting out than sailing?

 

[Wansworth]

Great value at two thousand Severn hundred pounds,brand new?

 

[tillergirl]

Sorry. Can't see any name - certainly none on the bow. Can the Y number help? RYA? As I said it was an old photo - August 2015 while we had set off for Ramsgit and then onto Boulogne and St Valery Sur Somme. There was a series of similar photos all heading into the Blackwater.
