My new project... MFV Elizmor

[longjohnsilver]

Ellie started this thread to get publicity for her interesting new project. If you look at her website, you'll see that she uses the readership here as a selling point for potential sponsors. When it started going wrong she used the thread to have a bit of a go at Preston Marina. She isn't really in a position to complain if the thread continues with a life of its own, particularly since she has never responded to Preston Marina's postings.

I really hope it all has a successful outcome, but she is not, and you are not, in a position to dictate how the discussion should continue.

A good summary, well said. I am still surprised that Ellie has chosen not to respond after Preston marina made their excellent post.

What do you think could lift the boat onto a lowloader but not lift it into the sea?

I know, I know. I've seen the suggestion all six times it has been made. I was just trying to be nice to our new friend.

"Cease and desist" ? She is looking but can't touch?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to investigate a lift onto a low loader and then transit to the nearest 50-ton travel-hoist. Might work out to be a more affordable option?

Is someone being paid to keep suggesting this? Pay me £10 and I'll also suggest it.

Could be the commissions paid by the low-loader company!

We just want to see footage of a moonlight travelhoist jaunt on youtube!

Now that's an idea! Get the big hoist from Fleetwood, drive it round to Preston in the dead of night, pick up Elizmor and trundle back to Fleetwood before the sun comes up.

Perhaps Ellie is doing digital marketing strategy for them?

It is spectacular how the length of this thread has resulted in this circular narrative.

It should certainly impress any potential sponsors. Unless they read it ...

Hey, has anyone thought of putting the boat on a low-loader and taking it somewhere else?

Or perhaps lifting it with hot air balloons? There's enough hot air in this thread...

Why not all stop posting until Ellie "updates us"

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........................................



I'm fed up with this reaching the top of the forum.

I only read it to see if the boat has finally got wet, on the outside.

Have you been paid to say that?

I think it's raining in Preston. If it's not too bad, this might be a solution.

I pay about £120 / ton for seasoned hardwood. Anyone know what Elizmor is planked in?

Well that's 3 of you will stop posting on this thread. Some posters do nothing but moan about people posting on the thread.
What you seem to have lost track of (or never grasped) is that the thread carries on as long as someone wants to post on it. There is no moratorium on posting, unless the mods lock it. That is how forums work.
By all means don't read it, but stop posting on the thread if you don't want people to post on it. And stop agreeing with people who say stop posting by posting your agreement. I mean that is nonsensical.
