New crew and new boat.

[burgundyben]

Mrs Burgundyben and I have a new crew member, Felix James Curtis arrived in a bit of a rush and 8 weeks early on 20th November weighing 3 lbs 11 ounces. Both he and Mrs BB are doing just fine.

To replace Playtime we have bought a Fairey Huntsman 31 aft cabin. Hull number 24, there's a bit of work to do finishing off and putting back together. Hope to have her ready for the Club's 30th Rally in June.

More pics of the boat to follow.

congrats!

btw, when was the Hantsman bought? Is it likely Mr Felix was early out of plain curiosity to see the new boat? If so, looks like you have a v.keen new member of crew...

cheers

V.

Hi Ben,

Congratulations to you both, very lovely news.

....and that was always the obvious replacement for playtime!

 

[Nigelpickin]

Great news and that's a lovely boat, look forward to seeing some pics...of the boat.....

Cheque cleared then ! Congratulations and congratulations.

 

[MystereMarcus]

Many Congratulations Ben. Can't wait to see the Huntsman and new crew on the water.

 

[BruceK]

Congratulations on both arrivals. I've often wondered when my two were still new born if the rocking motion of the boat at anchor would have been the equivalent to rocking their cot through the night just to keep them asleep. Thrilling times ahead. :encouragement:

Many Congratulations Ben. Can't wait to see the Huntsman and new crew on the water.

Absolutely +1.
And of course, looking forward to pics, particularly of the FH - not that also the new crew member wouldn't be appreciated!
