We appear to have lost a floorboard possibly through a gap in the planking so if anyone sees a lonely floorboard floating down the Thurne let me know. 

I. Hope the boss doesn’t see this....

Is that what they are, gaps in the planking. I thought they were scuppers.

We are hoping to retrieve it before it attracts a toll requirement and bss.

[BroadAmbition]

If the errant floorboard has found its way into the Ant, I’ll pick it up today

Bit harsh. 

True but harsh!

Obviously too warm for chocolate.

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.

SO how do you launch a soon to be sixty year old Broads Cruiser? Here's how!

Thanks to everyone on team RT for making a dream come true! Very happy Timbo here! On to the next step...

[grendel]

right I can finally post some pictures of the big day - taken during the times I wasnt helming

Tim’s definitely going to need clean underwear if he ever takes it under THAT bridge.

[ZimbiIV]

I thought he was just trying to finish sanding of the hand rails.

It has so far been a great thread with a fantastic outcome and a massive credit to all involved - even Timbo for buying a woodie in the first place 

 

thanks  Finny

We have asked her to filter some of the Wetshed water for all you posh boats. It was looking at bit murky

In that case, you are gonna need bigger pumps and open up a plank or two!

Well tonight’s project was to make some half round cover strips for the cabin roof but unfortunately the belt has broken on my thicknesser, I urgently need some more knicker elastic, Polly or Lulu ?  

[quo vadis]

My wife could maybe help but at 300mm wide x 4 M long it may be a little too much

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 ... 

[Polly]

We are very broad minded Doug, as lacy as you like, I say. 

[ZimbiIV]

It's a pair tights you need not knicker elastic, always worked in my old mini, but then you had to do something while the knot took time to set, so while the tights are off...…….. how do spend the time?

In England it is young love : in France it is l'amour : and in a Morris Mini Minor it is impossible!

No it’s not

[Vaughan]

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! 

[grendel]

Well its still 28 degrees in the workshop, but the doors are united with the frame, the whole lot will need trimming to length one it has been trial fitted.
