Hello Mr Speedy, is the boat on a trailer ?

If so are there any members able to run a relay down the M6 to London. If about 6 members did a strip of the M6 each it would be in London in no time.

I can do from the M1/M6/A14 junction to Dunstable L&D hospital (about 60 miles) no problems, any other takers.

Can a relay be organised.

Thanks for the offer but we managed to get her moved this weekend  ;D
We have decided to give her the full works so all the varnish is off on the decks and sealed with boiled linseed oil . We will flip her over next weekend and do the hull and then flip her back over to do the finishing on the topsides etc .
