After travelling down to Padstow to see my good friend Alan i had a guided tour of the Temporary Tamar stationed there whilst the "Spirit of Padstow" is back in dry dock having a modification on her fuel tanks... This will be my next build..

Superb records of a fine boat, thank you 6705russell. There are going to be quite a few future builders who will appreciate the works of reference you have provided.

Having been born beside the (River) Tamar, I shall build one myself....one day.

Thanks again,

Roger in France

Hi,

By coincedence i've just been watching your mate skipper the lifeboat with Robert Llewellyn onboard for Ch. Five programme Top Trumps- unfortunately they lost to a Sikorsky rescue helicopter!

Great pics by the way.
