I've gone all pipe and slippers!

Erin · 13 July 2012, 20:16

Congratulations, but I think you're on the wrong internet forum for that kind of thing

I look forward to seeing her in the flesh.

martini · 13 July 2012, 20:22

Erm there's a diesel tank cleaning thread running at the mo, nothing you want 'fess up to??

Poly · 13 July 2012, 20:28

When's it going to Tidel or Henshaws to be finished off?

GJ0KYZ · 13 July 2012, 20:34

It's a cracking good boat with a lovely wheelhouse; congratulations Matt. Are you going to sell Martinii II?

Razorbill RIBs · 13 July 2012, 20:41

Ooh I like that

I'd like one like that when i grow up

Nice boat Martini - best of luck with her. Classy helm

Fantastic looking craft! and looks mint also....

Dead smart Matt.

Is she a Castlemain 35, built in Guernsey to lloyds standards, part of a family generally referred to as "school of Nelson". Derived from the original narrow gutted Nelsons and designed by John Askham who worked with Peter Thornycroft on the originals?

Looks like there's some fine Googler's on this site

There's nothing wrong with town; I'm in town!

Gorey's not exactly sheltered to be fair. South westerlies have a tendency to back round st Clements and blow straight in.

Erin · 13 July 2012, 21:46

Maybe not, but it shaves 8 miles and 20 litres each way off most trips, so it was my preferred option. That and the free parking

Great name for a boat

.

You need to pop down to town in the morning and get a Breton cap and a Navy & White stripe sweater.

Pikey Dave · 13 July 2012, 23:32

A fine looking, tidy beast...has it got a microwave.....................................

Squid Boat · 14 July 2012, 01:17

Congratulations Martini

May your seas be fair and blue.
She's going to have two really nice shore boats mate, all the best from Cali.

Cheers, Don

Are you really Charlie Hungerford? I think we should be told.

Dhf · 14 July 2012, 11:37

Very good choice of hard boat, the company below fit them out just up t road from me, I've stood in the bare carcase of one of these before fitting and there solid throughout, nice set of davits an your sorted, I would imagine a 4m rib wouldn't look out of place dangling from stern.
