Well done to you John - an absolutely amazing achievement. As someone who has been on a similar journey and built a steel boat in my garden over 14 years, I actually think you have completed your project in rather a short time! As I write, I am in France on my aft deck sipping some Sancerre Red and raise my glass to you! I know all the highs and lows you have experienced and have loved reading your story. Now enjoy sir!
We have of course been in communication before on FB. This is me:Thank you! It sounds like you are enjoying your boat on the water and I hope to be doing so very soon!
Any photos?

Was it good advice ? Because you just ordered the world’s biggest crane...Yes, I remember the boat now and the question that I asked at the time when I was trying to gauge the weight of my boat in advance of planning the lift out of my garden! ??

No I haven’t ever done that. If people are interested, if and when I get some time I’ll try to put some details up on a different thread.

Props are in the back of the van and will be fitted just prior to launch.
