Newborn baby ? whatever ...he's got a boat to look over !

That's dedication - I love it !

Good to put some faces to names - sorry not to have chatted more to Trailer guy but some proper work was going on there - rather than my arsing about .

Fantastic BBQ work by RIK

Hopefully things working out for both.

The question posed this evening ..

Biff - how do you flip it over ?

I was also wondering how many of you though the same as me at the weekend - along the lines of ' This is going to be an amazing boat .....I wonder if I could buy it '......

I'm in awe of Biffs pad, space, tools etc general approach to everything....

Easier to flip one in my shed than on the water, a couple of small block and tackles and the two over head winches make it really child's play
