Yeah, you're on the slippery now. I remember when I put the willkcraft up for sale back in the day - a hard moment but when you get the crispies, you'll get over it

For those looking, the Black Pig is a fine craft and comes with a dedicated custom cake cutting board for mid Irish Sea elevenses!

I fancy something more leisure orientated, possibly with a stripey bench seat. I'm getting too old for all this rufty tufty stuff😳

Nah! Way too big & impractical. I like to vary my cruising grounds. I couldn't think of anything worse than being stuck in one marina/mooring/ port. The only advantage of being as far away from the sea as we are, is that no where is close, but neither is it far away.

Lovely outfit ,,,,, if only I had enough cash, space and a vehicle to tow it :-)

I am sure you are well on the way with plans for your new toy Dave !

I agree with you about living so far from the sea as we do - the opportunity to explore most of the coast in 2 - 8 hrs drive time. Oban/ Penzance and many fab places in between.

Hmmm, reading between the lines there is no mention of Osprig Etecs sooo could it be a RC?? .. 585 poss Suzybishi 140 would be great as more HP at the prop now.
Are we close PD?

Well, reading between the lines, I've mentioned bugger all, apart from a nice comfy seat & possible striped upholstery
