Sometime during the North Wales meeting an arsonist tried to set fire to Little Ship causing substantial damage to the paintwork on the rubbing rail! approximately an area of 1/2" was discoloured by a discarded cigarette. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Photographic evidence has been gathered (although not available as left with said vessel) and submitted to the Sea Faring Whippet Attack Dogs who are in pursuit of the said arsonist! After carefully studying the scorch mark, specialists in the field stated that it was probably a drunken smoker that set the trap to see if she really was made of wood.

The total amount of the damage to the vessel will be in the region of two shillings?

On a much lighter note it has been remarked on that the drinks cabinet this year fared much better than in the past, persons in the know stated that "this was probably due to the fact that Kwacker didnt turn up" end quote. The ships captain thinks it is because certain people tried to sink said vessel with stores during the early evening!

Yer honnor. The fault lies with Little Ship, which is only little on the insides, with a big lump of dead tree on the outside, which had no warning sign.

No idea who dropped the offending material over the side, which was not over the side at all because of the affore mentioned.

But twas I wot saved Little Ship from the arson attack and risked my life by throwing my hand into the fire and beating the flames and heaving the artical over board.

Without my vast experiece of smoky things, I fear Little Ship would have been lost. Yer honnor. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
With all due respect to my learned gentleman, it is rumoured that he was the arse that, excuse me Melud! the arsonist that tried to remove Little Ship from future parties. albeit that with out his in-depth knowledge of smoky matters and lightning like reactions the damage could have easily reached a quid!

It was the zoo keeper that saved the day by providing a magic sponge to remove the vast amount of ash and scorching after this hideous attack on Little Ships woodwork.

In retrospect of the matter I think that a drink on Mucky Farter would be in order as recompense!.

With all respect to the member, I fear the punishment far to grim. Last time you came, you brought along a little tramp and ate all our super and drank all the booze.

I demand a retrial. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Be thankful that you have a stout wooden boat that won't melt at the first hint of fire. The damage cost estimate sounds to be more in the order of 1 finger of Bombay gin

Oh God. Tom's invited the Yanks on here.

Welcome. Do you have a full drinks cabinet? We've drunk the one over here dry.
 
the fact he has a mate.
