Love the green hull.  I went in on Thursday, then the weather turned cold again.  Next week looks great.

Very nice. A 23/3 diesel. The Mark 3 is my favorite- still used bronze hardware and portlights.

Nope. If truth be told the greatest ever Englishman was Oliver Cromwell, Our Chief of Men. Unfortunately his brief time in control didn't really outlive him. About 25% of the UK population would like a Republic. There is massive respect for the Queen but "Jug Ears" is a bit of a laughing stock. William and Harry have a lot of respect too.

Wow! i'm impressed. It is a 1997 model I think. I certainly was impressed by the quality of the fittings, not least the portholes.

What did you use for the green finish?  I love the color.

It is self coloured GRP I believe. I bought her like that.
Funny you should post today as the boatyard lifted her in today. It feels great to be afloat!
I will add a photo when I get home.
