Does a 1978 Birchwood 25 get me membership in the Classic boat forum Gents?

Or is it too young..... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
It's got nothing to do with age. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Next to "best anchor" and "col regs", "what makes a classic boat" usually leads to a pretty contentious thread. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Are we talking about owners or their boats here /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
I think Mariposa was being very diplomatic.
As the owner of both a small tradtional boat and a "plastic fantastic", I would suggest the answer to your question is no. Neither would be my 1980's Freeman.
 
I'll bog off back to the Thames forum then you miserable old gits. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Don't suppose some wooden rubbing strakes down the sides make any difference then? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Nah, they don't like my early 70's Westerly Ketch either. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Perhaps we should ask for another forum - Elderly Plastic Independant Classics (EPIC Forum). Incidentally you don't even need a boat of any description to join any of these fora. There are loadsa people happy to give their opions on anything they know nowt about (Guess how I know this /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
 
Don't think so.
Now if you had a nice period Stuart Turner engine in place of your Ford Cortina engine, that would be different!
Funny that. I just happen to have one available!
