Leopard roars on maiden voyage

Re: Ooh a quiz!

Now, it's a saily boat, so it can't be the Nautilus, from frenchie Jules Vernes's book but an (American) Disney production.

Ahem. so praps it's a modified Carver? I say modified, but actually wdn't need any mods to a carver to make it sail, but it's not French. So izzit a Chevrolet? - they sound french but they're american, and they're almost sailing boats too. So, maybe it's a erm Feeling? Only problem with them is that the boats says things like "Feeling 63" down the side and used ones have optional "Feeling Old" stickers.

Not a Jeanneau or a bavaria, i bet. Can I have 50-50? or ask the audience?

Re: Ooh a quiz!

wouldn't ask this audience. Don't go 50-50 either 'cause your ruled out ones are nearer the mark.

Well as there is only a million at stake a little help....it's definately not a bav 'coz Bavaria = beer fest = Munich = (Bayern Munich - Footie) = German, so that leaves....

Re: Rumplestiltskin?

It's a Beneteau, a 2-year old 311. From Dickie's of Bangor. It's at Pwllheli. You live near Huddersfield and if backing on to the canal then work might be at Holset, St Andrew's Road, opposite the old WC Holmes factory.

Thanks for the help about Bavaria - I thought that it might be near Elland Road;-)

Re: Rumplestiltskin?

Wrong again! Your lifelines are used up and the bad news is the game has changed from Millionaire to Hangman, only for real. Preparing the gallows as we speak (so to speak!)

Dickies yes, Ben yes, 311 no, 211 yes. The canal thing....not sure where you got that one, Holset, they are one of our customers but so are the rest of the Cummins group but that's another story. WC Holmes, never heard of them, might live near Hudds but don't go in the place

Looks like the spies have misled you!!

Re: erm er

Um well praps the foundry Hopkinson's then? Oh heck. I will have to ring up the marina and pretend I have smashed into a 211. You can't get decent spies these days. The local barber reports that you are bald, but smiley. That's enough guessing.

How is your Britttany plan coming along?
