pedro boats

[nedmin]

Just read Helen and John Andersons story about winter cruising as the previous owner of Sea Swallow when it was called Treble Clef,I found it most interesting and envious! After having it built in Holland and bringing it back via Vlissingen,Lowestoft and Boston and keeping it 10 yrs in the UK it was very reliable also.Why is it that MBM never seem to give Pedro any credit,there was not one mention of the make of boat in the article and even in a recent 2nd hand test of steel boats they found the crumbiest Pedro they could find mentioning freely the rust that was apparent. As far as I am aware Sea Swallow is still on the original paint finish after 15yrs. Expect I shall get banned for this outburst.but I sometimes wonder about the "pull" of various advertisers! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Not sure but I think Kim had a pedro, at least I think he did when he was Editor of MBM. He seemed to like it at the time. (Although recollection of said conversation is somewhat blurred by the Malt tasting that was going on at the time. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

Yes Kim did have a Pedro as has Boatone, hopefully he'll be along shortly.

Try posting this on the Thames Forum. The river's full of similar Dutch metalwork.
