Traders.. are they well built?

[Nauti Fox]

Always thought they were, but after seeing Gludy's arrive back from LIBs not so sure now.

 

[petem]

Yeah but that Trader was built in 1752.

 

[BrendanS]

Disagree, it was 1759

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Nah - its a model made of matchsticks.

 

[Gludy]

I may be biased but I cannot see nathing wrong with that.
Unlike most boats the wood is the real thing and not just skin deep.
Further the boat will never have a trace of osmosis.

OK LIBS took a little out of her - and maybe she has skewed a bit with the load of all those folks tramping all over her ...... but it jusy shows she can take it. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I particularly like the removable transom. Suprising that more builders don't offer that option.

 

[Hurricane]

Still got the origional stabilisers as well - I would expect.
Probably work as well as the current ones - I expect.

 

[Coupe]

Good to see he has his fender out - wouldn't want to see her get damaged /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Lakesailor]

That's not a fender. It's an osmosis blister.

 

[Nautorius]

Wow,

I want that boat..the first wooden hull found with a huge osmosis blister /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif . I wonder what would come out if we popped it..woodworms?

 

[Lakesailor]

There you are you see. You learn something every day. Isn't life interesting?

 

[Nautorius]

I know it is facinating. Mind you I have also learned so much about Eco Cats that I just want one.....to burn! And then there is the dangers of smoking and why 4x4's are soooo bad.

I do not know why I read a Paper when life is explained here so well /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[oldgit]

Is it true thay asked you move your boat cos it was lowering the tone of the marina?

 

[mainshiptom]

What tone and what marina ?

 

[Nauti Fox]

Jealous gits, passed Fred's Sarah T the other day, looking a bit derelict and in need of props, not twisted bits of metal, and Tom hasn't even got a boat! (or beer storage facility) as it was mostly used as.
We proudly made it all the way there and back in our "classic cruiser".

 

[oldgit]

Ah,wondered where all that smoke was coming from the other morning ,thort a destroyer was laying done a smokescreen or summat. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
