Adam F Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Joint VentureI would like to introduce the latest boat to the PBSBAC fleet - 'Joint Venture' With the help of a few kind members, we slipped her into Poole Harbour at 9am this morning. The launch went faultlessly, and she is everything Bob and I had hoped for and more (except we now want a bigger one !!) We had a short run up the harbour to the chain ferry and back, and managed a respectable 30 knots without really straining the Volvo - 20 knots was a lovely cruising speed. Thanks to Tom for sorting the launch at Parkstone Bay Marina and showing us the ropes (litterally) and the channels in and out. Alun, Gordon and Will turned up armed with cameras and champagne to christen her - thanks guys. A few other thanks - Charlie and Dan who helped with a big box of kit from Alfresco and more importantly helped getting the engine in. Trev (Wedger) for towing us to Poole 2 weeks ago. Finally - a huge thanks to Peter Russell (jnr) who without his help we would still be sat on a trailer in my drive and would have made numerous mistakes! His help and advice were priceless I've pulled together a short clip of the build here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
