Wow, that is a cool boat. If you "update" it you should put
in a steam engine.

Heh, neat boat, Oz. I almost convinced myself to buy one of the ex
Derwent Sailing Squadron putt putts whan they flogged them off. 21'
LOD, 8 HP Yanmar engines, solid f/g hulls. Thought it was going to be
one toy too many right ATM, tho.


Is that possible?


It is when you're working on the concrete formwork for a 16m x 13m x
4.2m high barn/workshop. So far I've used 1000 linear metres of 150x50
timber and have yet to pour the concrete footings. Another couple
weeks, maybe. Then the fun really starts. First, carefully stripping
off all the formwork I carefully built, then backfilling, pouring the
slab, erecting the framework etc etc. A real winter project...... no
time for another toy boat that'd sit on one of my moorings until spring
or more likely summer, at which time I'd be heading south again.

Next year, maybe.
