Not you too !!!!!!

Congrats Neil - wishing you & Debs many happy miles in her.

I guess we'll now have to dip our ensign when this new flagship of the Scuttlebutt Orwell Squadron sails by....

 

[Oen]

Well done Neil, wishing you many happy landfalls in her!

 

[StugeronSteve]

Congratulations Neil, she looks well in the pixture.

A fine vessel like that should be allowed to spend some time with us sofistycated sorts, on the south coast, before she has to join them east coast roughians.

Let me know when you are next going down, as I'm due a trip that way myself.

 

[fireball]

Neil - far to deep a keel for the East Coast ... 5'6".... I've got an angle grinder you can borrow to take 2' off the bottom!

Lucky bugger! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Blueboatman]

Nah. Girt big motor and propellor will plough the east coast mud nicely
Congratulations Neil by the way!

<<Well done Neil, wishing you many happy landfalls in her! >>

They will be making loadsa landfalls, most of em unexpected as the hoooge keel ploughs a rut. See Sailorman for detail. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[/ QUOTE ]Oohhhh.... most likely.... especially if the previous owner leaves his blue ensign on board... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[/ QUOTE ]Pah... she's 15cm shallower than Magna Carter, and a full 50cm shallower than the last potential purchase.... so providing I am careful, I can avoid grounding by using the furrows we ploughed last year... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Oh, and by the way.... I prefer to go round things like most normal people.. its only you in your floating tea tray that likes to go the direct route at all times. regardless. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[CliveG]

I will happily follow him.

Anyone for the Rays short cut.
Amazing what you can get over using a Hydraulic jack /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

I assume we are talking about your tender here? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[CliveG]

You leave my tender behind. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

WHEN (not if) we touch the putty we just pump the keel up a bit and carry on.
Or turn back as seems best some times.
We only need 12" of water to float. (She handles like a tea tray if we do)
How much did you need?

One assumes you will be more circumspect in you attempts to navigate areas of the backwaters at a inappropreate time? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
