Hello forumites, it's been a while since I last posted. For those that don't remember me, I'm very much a skinflint who prefers to get hands on with everything. I was saving for a larger boat but due to new priorities ( my recent engagement) I decided to go for convenience. Therefore my new boat is a Dawncraft Dandy bought from the mooring next to mine :-D It's currently in what I would call a working outdated condition. The restoration/fixing up has begun with the carpets being ripped off
