Welcome to ribnet

Before you get carried away with mentioning where you have storage etc, remember that anyone can read the site

Phil and Jan at the farm are very nice couple we have stopped there many a time fishing with some lads off here. Phil even gives us a lift to Caernarfon when we go out for a pint at night, and often joins us for a crafty one.

Only just saw this. I remember your boat from when it used to live in Haslar Marina in Portsmouth Harbour. As you probably know it was used by Alex Thompson racing as a support/chase boat for their Open 60. Didn't the engines get stolen at one point?

Finally someone twigs!

IIRC, the entire boat got pinched and recovered?

Tim M · 23 June 2013, 13:28

Arh yes maybe that's what I was thinking. I certainly remember it being on stolen boats for a while!

Tim&Linda · 23 June 2013, 15:07

yeah they found it in SPAIN after six months and brought it back its has been with insurance company from 2011 till about a month ago.
they stole it from a evinrude dealership as the boat when in for a service . I bought it from one of the insurance agents that did not know his backside from his elbow about boats
