New Ship

[pks1702]

As Sailorman asked me about the change in Avatar on another thread - the answer is yes.

Pipe and slippers now in situ

As an ex yottie I hope I am more courteous than some of our tribe on the wash front

Nice ( for a MoBo )

The Swift did everything I wanted but in our boating partnership there are two of us and SWMBO after her myriad surgery said she wanted a bit more comfort, so I gave in :disgust:

Nice looking boat. I do like the look of Brooms
Where is she berthed?

 

[Tomahawk]

I am guessng Shotley

 

[TangaraToo]

Thanks, thought it looked familiar but couldn't put my finger on it. Only visited Shotely twice so far.

Thanks - Tomahawk is correct she is at Shotley, been there for 8 years find the staff very helpful.

I just need to work out how to drop the radar arch so I can fit and fly my ECF Burgee.

Thanks - Tomahawk is correct she is at Shotley,

right near us!

right near us!

We are, but we have a lot to live up to given the cleaning and fettling of Marmalade the other weekend. Will do our best to not let 'neighbours' down

She's a great looking ship, agree about Broom's, they have real class

Thanks CW, we almost had an Elling as the previous two Mobo's were single engine but the sale fell through, so settled on a Broom - build quality of this era is excellent. We have had a fair bit of work done on her and are quite chuffed.

Twin engines are a novelty to get used to but the lock is still intact - currently

She's a great looking boat. If you're going to leave the world of trawlers then a Broom is a pretty good place to end up. Congrats!

Thanks Bouba that was really our thoughts in the end. The Swift Trawler is a super piece of kit I wish you many more happy hours with yours.
