The Claymore Patent

[claymore]

Avid readers of my posts will recall that I was seeking information about some stainless steel to stick on the front of the boat to prevent Bruce from digging his way through.
Well - things have moved on - the stainless is now a 6 foot wide strip which goes down from the bow roller and under the front and along the bottom of the keel. The polar icecap may melt as quickly as it likes from here on in as I have the "
Claymore patented anchorbangerpreventerandicebreakerdevice"
I don't mind you all following my lead and getting one yourselves but please inform the Director of Claymore patents Inc. P.Handy who will discuss fees etc.
The patent dodger detection officer is a nasty wee piece of work frae East Kilbride and I just think it would be better all round if you just pay up.

Look you wee money grabbin Scot. Just post the details. and have done with it. If I stick one on the bows of my boat, could I jump across Hurst spit in the way that one boat this year didn't manage

ahhh well in a wine induced flight of imagination I have just patented the ultimate in ice breakers.. Its the sawyourwaythrothepackicebowprotectorandgeneralsharpthinkonthefrontthing .. I have managed to adapt a bench saw to attach to the bows without chopping the front off..

Only problem is it has a tendency to saw thro the anchor/chain! I am working on the MkII version...

Re: The TK Patent

Thanks Brendan for reminding me

The tolls for entry to the Twister canal, to be dug across the base of Hurst Spit will be very reasonable. It will enable lazy naviagtors to proceed from Poole Bar Buoy to Lymington's Jock in the Basket without programming any of those inconvenient intermediate waypoints.

Tolls on the Portland Harbour-Lyme Bay canal will be higher, by virtue of the Portland Race having such a terrible reputation.

Tarquin?

Presumably you've named your anchor?

Tarquin the Bruce has a certain ring to it.

What\'s this obsession

with ice, that you lot appear to be sharing.

Not influenced by the concern over the postulated cessation of the Atlantic Conveyor is it?

Would you have a wee wordie with Charles about his postullated cessation - is this a serious condition, is it contagious - I don't like asking the poor man directly - it seems rather rude

Re: What\'s this obsession

Sounds bloody nasty to me. Anything that postullates should be given a wide berth.

Re: Tarquin?

Well - it was Bruce Bruce - would it bring me bad luck to change the name - I rather like Tarquin?

Re: Twister Canal

I presume it will be narrow and deep and therefore unusable by the BenJenBavers..

Will you follow the route of the A35 Bournemouth town planners will be very "interested" in your Canal I'm sure.. will almost certainly cut down the roadworks bills!

Re: or Twistybruce nm

Ta Ken might mean TW will charge you some kind of copyright fee as the name Ta Ken looks like an acknowledgement .. if you know what I mean.. I wouldn't leave yourself open to exploitation like that!
