yes thanks, i know they dont carry much yours is the only boat that carries one in our area. i dont live in bradford but i have been branch chairman for about 10 years now and i do sea safety and rnli education talks plus everything else in the area ,he was saying the old city of bradford 3 is up for sale that would be the last time you had a slipway boat ,think the arun c.o.b 4 was for sale at falmouth recently though its colour has, changed a bit since brian was cox. our present boat c.o.b5 is an atlantic 75 rib and is a relief boat so we dont get to see her that often , i usually boat at the other end of yorks the posh end at teesmouth , so dont get down to your bit often, kindest regards and thanks martin .
