new boat on the horizon

 my dream is to have a yacht or mini cruiser dinghy with a cabin 

in the last few weeks i almost got a corribee with a mooring in my home town. unfortunatly the red tape of getting a mooring and a  rule that if a boat is sold it had to be removed by currant owner then new owner brings it on to the site stopped it happening.

then i seen a vid of a skipper 17 at Bala SC  i liked it and started looking.

as usual joining the fb groups to get info.

a boat turned up and not too far away, so end of april i will be bringing it to Bala subject to the viewing being as good as the vid the owner sent.


Eagle 525 bit newer design than the skipper 17 

#125

History repeats itself

 

no sooner you get your boat to the club the lake floods.

when i took ERL to bala in 2019 it flooded within the week and it had to be stored elsewhere for a week.

then over the winter when i had Mutley96 it flooded and the boat came of its trailer as it wasnt strapped on , result being a severly damaged boat.

all being well and being starpped on to its trailer Black Magic will be ok and the wheels are chocked so it shouldnt move around.  car is in garage still so i cant do a thing.

more info later....
