Oh no - another project
« on: 07 September 2010, 17:59:44 »
Well been looking to upgrade the Express as she's not that suited to Cruising.  Plus if I am going to get the wife interested in sailing I need a boat that is comfortable so I have just bagged this little beauty for very little money:



She will need some work but it would seem not that much to get her on the water  :y

Dont worry, it's getting an inboard as soon as I find a suitable one.  For now my trusty seagull will fit on the bracket at the back :y

Wow! :o :o  What an offer!! 8-) 8-) 8-)  Tell us nearer the time Gaffers please. 

Been around boats (ex-Royal Naval family) most of my life one way or another, but haven't sailed a dingy (Mirror and Graduate) since the 70s!!, although my ex and I had a sea dingy with outboard right into the 1990s motoring around places like Poole harbour and off Hastings.

Love the chance to do it again! :D :D :D ;)

I'm always on the lookout for ballast crew  ;D

Seriously though, I do a lot around poole, solent and chichester but I am looking to go further afield, around dover and into the Thames.  I would love to take the wife right up to and beyond Kew  :y
