Re: Roll up, roll up, buy an entire museum collection

Hard to see the sense behind this, take from racks in UK to put them on racks in China.

Re: Advertised near me!

I purchased a boat with pictures like that, thought I had a bargain till I went to pick it up, pictures were 3 years old, boat was a wreck, couldn't see he had done anything wrong.

Re: Bit of a curved ball this......but any ideas about this

I have seen something similar in Ply, it was a fishing punt, the angler rowed to spot then when he got there he fished over the back of the Punt, hence the extra buoyancy, (no outboard block though), trying to find image, will post if I can.

Re: Bosham classics

I didn't attend because from all I have read the club appears to be elitist, I am probably wrong, never having been there, so apologies to Bosham, plus it seemed abit lef...

Just read the 'Hit number 5 blog' seems to be a perfect single hander, better than a Finn, faster than a Laser, with a better weight range than either, what went wrong ?

Re: Man O'War for the uk market?

I did initially think Merlin, being pointed, but 'Merlin' solid colour, I then thought 'Daring' very similar symbol, perhaps a 'Daring' mainsail.
This is 'Daring' symbol.
