As many as it takes, just like the real thing.

yes, that has the speaker up front, I also have to fit a mudweight winch which has been asked for (still to be fitted to the real thing.)

I have the LED's still to fit, that searchlight is a working one, there is a LED going up the middle of the mount.

this one is for the owners of Broad Ambition, the other model #1 will be my one.

no need, just found a spare forehatch, i have just chromed the rims, i will need to darken the back of the translucent section.

now did i make two of the forehatches when i made model #1, if not i need to print another, just trying to figure what else i need to make. doors, i need doors, bifold for the rear doors and some for each of the cockpit steps

i forgot to say last night that the remaining two cleats have been completed. so here are some pictures with parts placed roughly in their correct locations but not yet fixed in place, as i dont have complete pictures for the whole cabin tops, just segments

that and the chine rails on marthams boats

ah, that was well timed to avoid that week on my part.

well when I havent been furloughed at home, I have been working from home, I am starting to wear ruts in the floorboards now.

something about staycations and accomodation sites i recall.

nearly 3 weeks aboard one boat or another 2 weeks of Jayne then a week on Water rail

I will need those days to do some washing and restock my boat store cupboards. (and download photos and videos)

Well Marthams have just taken my booking to add the rest of the week onto my previous booking an extra 4 nights on board, I have just realised though that this means i have 3 days back at work before another weeks holiday for the wooden boat show.

yes all lumped in with 'accomodation sites' and staycations

I will be happy to take all my meals with me and just be on a boat. still I have a few more weeks to wait.

I think they are bored Andy, they want to get back aboard their boats and sleep on them. its like the posts over winter, but has had an extra 3 months worth of boredom tacked on the end.

Actually we did revise those restrictions a few years ago so what you are referring to with respect to businesses is slightly out of date in as much as we do allow criticism, but you must satisfy us that you have contacted the business in connection with your complaint and not received a satisfactory response in a reasonable time, before you post the complaint here. But you would also have to satisfy us that the above conditions were also true, if you wished to post and the name of the pub could conceivably fall under postal addresses in that instance (it would have to be discussed between the moderators as to whether that did infringe the TOS in that instance) so we see people skirting around those types of details.

it may be, as you say, the pub is under totally different ownership now, so adverse publicity for the premises concerned is to be avoided surely.

Marthams when you get your booking have a copy of he boat manual that is aboard in hard copy, available to view online, so you can see where things like stopcocks and such that need checking are located.

And thus all this is dredged up 10 years on by a tv program, and thence by an internet forum.......................

But under our judicial system, if you have been convicted of a crime, taken the punishment and done the time, then you are deemed to have paid the cost for that crime. who are we to additionally punish someone - on top of the punishment already served and completed, are we now judge jury and executioner - I think not. Many crimes, once the punishment has been taken the incident is then treated as over, for some the person is watched after, but we should not go on to hold that against them in the future, that course ends in vigilante actions. If you personally find the person distasteful, then by all means dont go into his premises, but extorting others to follow suit is a kind of vigilante action. Are you so certain that somewhere in your past there isnt an action that you are thoroughly ashamed of now, that would cause you distress if it were brought back to light and published over social media?

This is why its not a great idea to discuss legal cases on forums, everyone forms their own opinions on the facts presented and the accused as you say can appear to be guilty, it is only in the professional standing of our judicial system that the truth can be ascertained - where the accused has the expertise of his legal representatives to uncover the truth of the case. Unlike on a forum, or indeed television program.

there are a few historic boats without holding tanks still.
