yes, thanks for the picture, I was the very first person to hire Jayne II as I took her to the wooden boat show 2 years ago, just 2 hours after she had been put in the water, i didnt find out until I got there that they had forgotten to put a stern fender on her, and its not like there are a lot to be able to borrow one from somewhere else either, then I had her for two weeks last summer (deferred from May)she is one of Marthams lowest boats, guaranteed to get under Potter Heigham even when their others cant. she is a beautiful boat to handle, and solo crew, as mooring up alongside can be managed from the helm, if you take the front windows out the side of the boat is just inches from the corner of the window, so an approach at about 30 degrees from the bank puts a mooring bollard within reach. a good boat for a couple as the bed is generous, and plenty long enough for a tall person.

Do I like Jayne - yes, I have a soft spot for her even now I am in the Water Rail buddy sheme (i do like Water Rail too) maybe i just like short wooden boats
