Cor, what a carve up!

OK if you're a Thames Motor Yacht Club aka ATYC member.

The ordinary unaffiliated boater is ignored; hardly representative is it??

An alternative even is needed - limited to Forum and TMBA members only....

To be more accurate, I cant see any record of Hertford being an UTMYC boat. I think this might be a typo.

 

[Ramage]

Quite right, original post amended.

Thanks!

Dave, glad to see your most "mild mannered" member got in!!

lets hope he doesnt shout at all those low lifes from Hampton Court to get their fenders up...

 

[apollo]

Anyone up for a party on one of the bridges and salute our glorious leaders?

 

[Brayman]

Good to see the Passenger boats at the back FOLLOWING the other boats for a change, I don't know how the Narrow Boats are going to manage 4 knots up to 6 with the tide.

So who picked this lot....the PLA

From the list it would appear that a decent proportion of the tupperware fleet has been allocated to some very worthy boats with interesting connections to,or reasons to use the Thames other than popping up and down on sunny days between locks.
However it would appear that the 30% of the allocation given over to pure leisure craft have been bagged 100% by one organisation and an affiliate organisation.
Am still struggling to pick out any leisure boat externally based of the Thames ?

perhaps a few pints of ale first in order to load-up?

 

[neale]

I imagine with members of the Royal family below there will be something in place to stop this sort of behaviour

Snipers ?

 

[neale]

Snipers ?

Hopefully not, but I would expect a heavy security presence, be that police or private, on each and every bridge.

Good to see you are thinking of protecting yourself Neale
