Nice one Scotty, i have the privaledge of knowing Mike quite well and the boat, its been very well looked after and you should have some fun with her.
Thanks Louise. I was looking at your web site and noticed you have a 3.5 kg anchor. Will this hold a 7.5m boat ? I use a 7kg plough and feel that it's just about right. Am I over engineering the safety side here ?

Scotty - that's really just the spare/extra one (left over from smaller boat days ). The main one is a 7.5kg bruce which should be up to the job.
Edit: just seen your post Bilgey! Yes, Richard & I are very much looking forward to travelling east this weekend. Looking forward to seeing you all and getting a ride here and there! Oh, and I'm ALWAYS a good girl!

Louise i know you are looking forward to having you aboard, i'll make sure i pack the Gin and Tonics for this weekend i can promise you it will be a wild ride out with the sub 5 boys
Dont worry Lou Lou after an hour out with the sub 5 lads you wont want that blue thing any more, your'll want the challenges of a mans rib, fast and bumpy and very wet
The Valiant was delivered to Luke Yesterday what a nasty drive it is to holyhead!! next time I'll go by sea!!
Thanks to Luke who was easy to deal with and thanks to Whitstable Marine who sorted the trailer out in a hurry as I needed to tow a long way.
Mike
Go by sea my ass I had 60 knot winds out of Hollyhead but had booked a cabin on the ferry so slept for three hours on the way home. Thanks for everything Mike. I launched the boat today and had great fun wave jumping. BUT........ I forgot to put in the drain plug in the transom and took about two million gallons into the bilge. Rib craned out again and all the water is now back in the Irish sea As soon as my teenage daughter gets a chance I will post pics.
