    That is sad. One ferry that should have been scrapped from new was the Darnia. Worst boat I have ever sailed on by a mile ! They had great difficulty getting up a full crew at Stranraer for it. It wobbled about in a flat calm!!!

    Deffo not one to buy!:norty:

    cheersIain

    The Cally P used to do the Stranraer to Larne run before moved south. I spent six hours on her out in Larne Bay bobbing up n down in a force 8/9 couldn't berth. The bar was very quiet! Great boat though in rough weather.

    Looking at the Nordhavn, makes my wishes seem pretty small lol.  The problem with boats like this is you need a mini crew to keep them going - look at the engine room on that thing! It is not a case of lift the hatch up, but walk into it.

    A few of Griff's old RN mates I am sure would crew up. Now THATwould be fun! :naughty:

    Well for me it would require to be three boats in three areas. One here at the Troon Marina, a Brooms bling one, for  cruising the Firth of Clyde etc. One for Lake Garda a Richos 45 centre cockpit jobbie, and on the Broads a Broadway re fitted to suit me, with the fire extinguisher fitted just behind the helsman seat, much safer!:)

    I have loads of Winifred Atwell LP's here Iain. For my sins I was a pub organist...familiar with the Hammond Lowrey and Farfisa! Played at Blackpool Tower in the small dance hall when I was 16!

    I played cricket at Stanley Park, danced at the Winter Gardens.
