Is that what they are, gaps in the planking. I thought they were scuppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I have just caught up with all the work, videos, and stories - really great to see her in the Wet Shed, but what tense times and another amazing 'all in' effort from various Forum members. Great to see all the hard work pay off and a boat doing what a boat should - go along the river and not be on dry land. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll send you an M&S voucher Doug, then you can buy yourself something lacey and pretty rather than make an excuse why you need the elastic ...

Vaughan Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 You obviously didn't have the arthritis in those days. I remember a delightful, moonlit occasion on the back seat of a Triumph TR2, but I admit we had the roof down at the time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
