Broadsventure XII back

[Broadlander3]

Hi Clive...

If only I'd looked after my money...

Was talking to Hoss earlier this year and he said that it was still in a restorable condition...if I get the lottery up shortly I'll give you a call and we can go down to the VWBA rally together...Year to be advised - This Next Sometime...Dreaming again

Hi all, would`nt that be nice eh, £55,000,000?. To be honest, i`d be rather scared to win that much, as you would always be a target for the worst elements of British criminals. To be doublly honest, if i one £250,000 it would set me up for a reasonably comfortable life, but £5,000,000 would set up the rest my wife and i`s families, which is more important to me than just having it for my wife and i. HOWEVER, if i won that sort of money, i would commision a certain Norfolk boatyard to make a replica of a certain classic Broads cruiser, and make a mould of the hull, and have a GRP hulled + timber topped Broadsventure/Broadlander built. It would cost a fortune, but then, i would have a fortune, a very big one at that. Anyway, has there been any progress Clive?. Regards to all..................... Neil .

no real major progress, we wired up the toilet last week, it is a new model and to test to see if we could risk one in the hirefleet we put a wetwipe in to it.

result? it blocked straight away!

To test it properly Clive, you need to use "A pound of mashed up Dundee cake"

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

Hi Jimbo, i think a much better test would be to eat the dundee cake first. Very tasty, and test the Billydoo afterwards. And if you eat ALL the Dundee cake, nuts and all, you would probably be giving it a long term durability test too . Regards to all.................... neil.

"this toilet is a saniflow 33 and this little babe can cope with anything and i mean anything. earlier on i put in a pound of mashed up dundee cake - let's take a look. not a trace - peace of mind im sure, especially if u have elderly relatives on board"

Just so that you all dont forget and that I dont forget about the ol' girl I we had a couple of hours connecting up the engine which is nearly done now

as it was a sunny morning I decided to take a quick piccie so here it is

I have also got all the carpet sorted which was edgebound to make it easy to lift and not fray, she is starting to gradually come together

I saw this being fueled when i was over last week, you certainly sneaked this in, but im afraid you wont be able to sneak the the RC45

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

Hi Neil,

Just ask for me when you get here and I will show you about if I am here.

[Antares_9]

It really is a very pretty ship Clive, I just hope no bugger goes and breaks it.

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

Hi Clive, all these resto threads have gone very quiet, have you done any more to BV12 lately?. Please keep it going, as we`re all interrested to see any progress. Regards ................. Neil.

[andyg]

now that looks very nice clive. she seems to sit high in the water is this because shes empty or is it just me. saw one of brooms old admirals in horning the other week looked fantastic aswell. i love the old boats.. i bet your boat builders love getting to grips with this kind of project, got to be better then cutting lumps out of a grp moulds.

Hi Andy,

I dont know why she sits so high, since that photo was taken the tanks have been filled and it is a bit lower but not enough, there are things to go in the aft end which may also help.

Some people love working on the wooden boats and others want to stay clean! it is horses for courses really, luckilly whatever jobs we have come up there are enough people who like that particular work to do it!

Broadsventure should be having her canopy fitted today, I will get a photo when it is a bit sunnier
