Re: Lerryn 2012
Excellent. Well the Solstice picinic is as near to the 21st as poss. alowing tides / location. Date announced nearer the time. Had my eye originally on that plaque when I eventually found it went to the winner of the most subscribed class. Not an advertised fact . . . got the broken oar inscribed a ...

Re: Lerryn 2012
I'm missing it. There's a blank space on the pub wall where I usually look while ruminating on the temperature of the Doom.

Re: Lerryn 2012
I shall be there Allan . . . Captain Slow will be motivating my skiff (if he discovers this time to cancel the choke). I shall just be watching and taking evil pics of you. Couldn't put together an interesting boat this year - they've been replacing my body parts with stainless - rather f**ked the y...

Re: Proposed Seagull Marathon early next summer 2011 May/Jun
Well that's seven entrants for the Internationally regulated, sorry renowned, Hayling Race. - so the scrutes would be flabbergasted should a slightly different twin leg turn up - Booked in with consultant 9th May. Then 4 - 5 weeks wait for bionic transplant. Shall take all relevant papers around to ...

Re: Proposed Seagull Marathon early next summer 2011 May/Jun
Twenty miles . . . twenty miles !!? That's across the Atlantic for an untried Seagull at present in bits. There are plenty of engines but in as found condition or cannabalised. A 'correct' gearbox would need looking at, everything fitted up - then river testing. And with three weeks; I've got the Fl...

Re: Proposed Seagull Marathon early next summer 2011 May/Jun
- I could fit a screw to the throttle lever which would only allow 1/2 movement - and paint it red - - or turn the engine around and the boat goes backwards - - or get a new, very fat, wide Captain who would stand at all times with arms stretched out wearing a large mac - - row backwards with extrem...

Re: Proposed Seagull Marathon early next summer 2011 May/Jun
Hope it was an extremely large one. I can hardly bloody walk at the moment and my joints sound like Libian rebels from their machine-gun pick ups. After waking up several times during the Diatribe in Red above, I realised the only reliable engine I have has the carburettor in a place not acceptable ...

Re: Just bought a big bit for new bitsa.
Was this the motor they said 'collect only'. Ah well . . . Here's the new cap in my first 170, spent a shedlload for it to be made. Only did it because of the hysteria. The engine itself; bore, ends etc were perfect to start with. And it had been fairly well used - fitted with a steering wheel syste...

Re: Proposed Seagull Marathon early next summer 2011 May/Jun
Oh dear, the Forum automatic notification system hasn't worked for me - I assumed with no SOS response since my last post on March 27th that there hadn't been any date fixed. I'm afraid I shan't able to attend, my captain will be in Jersey and I wouldn't have have enough time now to prepare my mecha...
