 part of me is giggling like a loon about that - how the hell does that happen ?
I reckon Biff needs to get some of this stuff in a book - Tales of boat builder ..or something ? ( no ribnet boats are to be mentioned however )

I did think about a tv show about tales of the river, some of the stuff that happens in a week is hilarious, had to laugh at my mate in the boatyard, his dog is a right beggar and it's getting fat, I go down there the other day and it's got a yellow waistcoat on with , don't feed me I'm on a diet, on it, the look on the dogs face was priceless

I should probably put my hand up to owning that - sorry Biff! I can only assume the fuel tank took a bit of a battering on the way back from Penzance in Aug, and where it's been ashore in a very nose down attitude on our sloping driveway since, the tank emptied itself into unseen areas of the boat. Not the best thing for you to find a day after I drop the boat off - will have to wait and see what other horrors you find!

It looks to be 2004 or earlier as it has the deck securing rails (these were discontinued around 2004 I believe). Can't wait to see finished pics of Biff's work on it!

I've finished it but to be fair it doesn't look that much different, most of the bits that were done are hidden

Don't know what I am at the moment, I'm juggling and have so many balls in the air, if I dropped them I'll be like a kid in one of them play pens with all the balls in, roll on the retirement
