I assure you it's less interesting than you imagine.

I have a differnet user name on most forums, as I signed up here before I bought my first boat (Which had the word "duck" in the name) I use the same avatar so there's no doubt about who i am from forum to forum.

It also fits my charactor and when I organise meets etc, I wear a Ducks Team jersey so newbies know who I am.

Jfm & Mapism,

Hermees says thanks for the compliments!

My cheaper, old banger, smaller boat, speeding on the Thames? And she is paid for because she was cheap.

Enjoy your boat and be proud of her, this is the non-judgemental forum

Is this boat berthed on the hammerhead at Brighton marina, and have dark blue cockpit side covers?

No she berth's at Sparkes Marina and has black covers.

 

[djefabs]

Lovely long legged machine DJE. A well built good looking mile eater. But I reckon she's a bit like a racehorse kept in the back garden. She wants to be blasting St Carles-Ibiza-Menorca-Corsica-Antibes-Sardinia-Elba. That kind of thing

Thanks JFM, I'm very proud of her. it's probably not surprising how many times that has been suggested and I could be tempted

That'll be Steffitoo, a Sq 62, currently for sale.

I just watched a show on called 'Three men in another boat', sailing from the Thames to Brighton. As they sailed into Brighton marina, the shot panned out to show (what I thought) was your boat, which must have been a sister-ship.

Tomorrow night is the last half, Brighton to Portsmouth, it's nice seeing the different ports, after reading what you blokes have said for the last couple of years .

Yep - although Boatshop reckon she's an Sq 65.

Thanks Jimmy, she looks to be a nice ship.

In fact she does get arround

djefabs - remember this?

 

[The Binman]

Smaller, older, and much cheaper than the majority of the rest of your boats, but she's mine

I'm with you! lots of lovely, gorgeous boats on here but as an old friend once told me "the enjoyment of a boat is inversely proportionate to its size!"

Look at it this way, are any of the guys with the fabulous boats going to have a bigger grin on their face than you?

 

[djefabs]

In fact she does get around

Yes Hurricane I remember it well

I fitted the steady sail & mast,It helps a lot to stop rolling,
the gaff sail came later, it looks good but doesn't work very well
The painting was done from the photo, and a pic of the gaff sail

 

[pheran]

No pictures (yet) of the current 'PHERAN' but this is her predecessor, 49ft LOA and 25 tonnes of best Dutch steel (with bow AND stern thrusters )

She had something most boats don't..............a bath!!

ps sorry about the fenders!!
