I must make the effort and go see you Brian or maybe you have a boat you fancy testing over our way, you would be very welcome. I will let you know when I get the old boat done, a snapped tendon has slowed me down but back on the go now. Mostly home trying to get all the jobs done so we can have some fun this summer!
If your friend is the chap in St. Neots, I have seen his website and he is obviously a brilliant, highly skilled craftsman! that would be a great visit!
Best Wishes, Craig
