Yes she is, We met the Owner & his wife last year up in Northumberland for lunch, we definately picked the right owners for Johns boat.
It is a story of Johns. She was built by father in law a John (1), boiler designed by a John (2)
When we advertised her a John (3) made an apointment to view her, John (4) phoned up & tried to gazzump John3,
John2 phoned me up & demanded i sell it to John4 who was a personal friend & undoubtedly the best owner for the boat!
John3 turned up with another John(5) who was a dour yorkshireman & obviously skilled engineer, I realed within 2 minutes that no way was i going to pull the wool over his eyes.
So they inspected & conferred & John3 made an offer which I accepted on the spot, fair to all concerned.
John 2&4 were sorely disapointed. Aah well.
John3 has become a good friend.
Good job my name is Keith or it might have got complicated!
