Spot my boat

[Porthandbuoy]

I'll give you a clue. She's made of wood.

What a pretty little Butterfly you have!

Whats she doing on the sales pontoon at Kip or is it the obvious 'for sale'.

 

[DanTribe]

Is it the white one?

[Porthandbuoy]

I know not what a Top Knot is. Pray enlighten me.

Let me join in with this - spot my boat as well - clue - it's not a Bavaria.

Did you leave the marina at about 11:00 om Monday? I had just got some diesel and was walking back to the visitors pontoon and saw you leaving. I take it you went upriver as it was blowing a bit hard going the other way!

Yup Ecome de Mer on the hard at the back! No problem. Do I get the prize?

Yep. Made my way back to Rhu before the wind went round to the North West. Had a belting sail back with just a small jib up. Just lashed the tiller and sat there with my hands in my pockets most of the way. Saw a sub's conning tower going south and two 8-metres having a tacking duel. Some time later one of the 8-metres passed me under spinnaker and main, followed an hour or so later by its stablemate under tow having buckled its mast; oops!

We were watching the eights on Saturday and Sunday. WOW! they don't half move. We were sitting in Rhu on saturday afternoon with 30 + knots and the streaked by with full main and genoa. Seriously stiff boats. Hollandia is the light grey one and the other was British. I cant wait to see more of them out for the Worlds.

I had the good fortune to race on 'If' many, many years ago. Wonder if she's coming back. I believe she was found in a barn down south and rebuilt...

The little wooden 'flag/burgee staff' mounted on the very top of the mast which was a prominant feature of Hillyards.

Know whats amazing (and I aint no fanatic), the eye moves straight past the lovely big, new white ones to the small old one in the middle (sorry if me descriptions insulting)

Donald, I was out and about in my other boat the other day, a wee boat called 'Miss Behavin'. I found a mooring pick up buoy and when I have sold that on eBay I will be happy to buy you a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not at all. I think she's a pretty little boat and a long way from your AWB.
