I would love it, but shed and wifes salary not big enough.  :'(
Heres a link:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280219029188&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D280219029188%26fvi%3D1

Is this anything to do with you or Stavros Don ?

Well yes - in a way.  Stavros is selling it on behalf of the widow of one our friends who died suddenly last year.  He was a very good builder and its a lovely boat but sadly he was only able to sail it  a couple of times before he passed on.

She still comes to the lake every Sunday but she can't bear the thought of seeing it on the lake without her husband so she wants it to go away from here to a good appreciative home (and quite frankly she could do with the money).

Come on you Paddle Boat enthusiats - get bidding   :(

Wish I could afford it Don, but its definitely worth more than £250.00. What a sad tale.

She stole it off you Stavros. Much to cheap.
