Will be there Thursday

There's always some interesting stuff going on and it's a good chance to look at some 'Proper' boats.
Not a big white pointy thing or any white upholstery with Blue piping in sight.

Might be worth a trip down, this event seems to have more than a touch of the: "....if Carlsberg did boat shows they'd probably be...." type thing going on.

I'm hoping that someone has invented a security system that detects if someone is prodding your engines with a boat hook, it then takes the boat hook & sticks it up the perps fat 4rse

I dunno about ugly, there is something beautiful about a nice solid workboat. Heavy and non family friendly are fairly spot on though

Few more, well worth a visit, it's free! Yes it's very trade orientated but still lots to see and people to talk to. Some very impressive pilot boats.
