large fries Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Makes the slipway seem cheap at 76 quid a year Quote
great white Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 As Sea trials go that was a little over the top Can you imagine how the poor owner must have felt, he would have waited ages fot the boat to be built with all the hassle of choosing things, chasing the build team etc. The launch date finally arrives and then she gets dropped I expect the Yard Manager felt worse than the owner. well he would if it was my boat charlie Quote
