Thanks Alasdair. What's your yacht in the avatar picture?

 

[Vern]

Looks a marvel, I hope she gives much joy!

 

[LONG_KEELER]

Looks a serious looking boat !

Sure you will have some great times in her.

If you click on the person's name and then 'public profile' it often has the boat details in there. In this case a Nauticat 331.

nice one

good family boat

only the stove has an interesting setup while under sail...

 

[Otter]

Yes - it's coming out. Gas installation condemned by surveyor so we are fitting an Origo stove stop and just wish I could track down a secondhand Taylors diesel or Origo oven.

gimbals

i was more referring to the way the gimbals are mounted as when under sail the boat will heal…

i have an origo stove too but when you have a diesel engine as you do then those taylors are nice to have. but only when you have a tree in your garden produces £ instead apples...

 

[Otter]

Damn, the last 4 years we've had a cat, I had actually forgotten about healing

What length is your newbie and where will you be mooring her?

 

[Otter]

34'6" governor honest . 36'6" and at Granary Yacht Harbour, a friendly family run yard in Woodbridge. She'll be floating all the time but the river only gives 2 hours either side, in reality she's not the sort of boat you pop out in for a couple of hours so in a way access isn't too important, but we sailed more when we had a swinging mooring. Still it's a pontoon berth with electricity and water for £150 a month.

That's one of the bigger versions. Father in law had a 23'6" version and went across the North Sea quite happily.
Granary - is that the one down the road beside the Coach and Horses?

Yes Mels boatyard

My favourite of all the Colvic Watsons is the 19'6". Looks like a cork bobbing about but in the correct shape and proportions of a mini Fisher.

Did I hear the 'F' word?

Looks a great boat. I saw this on youtube a while ago. We loved the look of it but was over our budget!! Amazing room inside

 

[Reverend Ludd]

Excellent, I bet your in for a lot of fun.

Thank you, yes the room inside is extraordinary, the list of jobs is almost larger!
