Welcome aboard Sea Commander!

All sea commanders start off as cabin boys here, kettle is over there and the swabbing mop is in the deck locker.
1 sugar in my 'Kye' please! 


Do you have any working boats, building one or in the restoration stage?

Regards,
Martin.

 Hi Bob.

 Yes i like the old stuff,

Time is an issue to me and cash so I like to get an old boat and do some fettling, painting and put a bit kit inside - get it running again, I have a wide range of stuff.  Vic Smeed  - what can you say - Brilliant, we owe so much to that Guy. His range of stuff as well - Brilliant.

I Dont have a Radio Steamer , but play with  a Bowman launch from thwe 1930's - still goes well.

 Regards
