go on then, a few gratuitous shots of Sumatra! another IOR boat

[Frenchda]

Here's mine, not in the same league as most on here.

She is used most days for a "boat date" when its sunny, bottle of wine and potter down the Thames. Can hit two decent pubs within 40 mins from home so used a lot for this as well (have a slight hangover from last nights "few beers" with some friends at the Bull in Sonning).

Also weekly shop, cannot remember the last time I drove to Tesco's. Not looking forward to winter

No a 1990's sailaway. She has had a lot of varnishing, painting and love, did not look like this at the start.
Of all the mechanical stuff I have ever owned she without doubt gives the most pleasure (and only £800!, although a little more spent since purchase)

A few more gratuitous shots.

I really like the Yamarin boats. I have had a few used ones in recently, they sell very well.

That's a brand new 2013 boat too, isn't it?

I am worried that i see no sign of a Beer Eski in there anywhere, unless that blue box up in the bows is for keeping your beers suitably chilled on a hot summers afternoon!

House Rule 1. Never a dry boat!! Usually a portable cool box. It really has been a pleasure this summer just getting on the water. The reality is most nights we just chug down for a while then turn round, looking at the same things but it has become the calm down from work process.

Her usual look!

Thats a lovely boat, looks totally fit for purpose.

What is the engine, the box looks tall so Im guessing a Lister??

The boats on this thread are getting smaller & smaller:

A little marinised Kubota, with a massive 4-5 knot top speed!

More Pirates



Is there still some law about flying a Jolly Roger?

Saturday is my Stepdaughters wedding at Sonning and the Groom is staying at the Bull tomorrow night, so weather permitting half a dozen boys will leave the girls at home doing witchcraft stuff whilst we potter down river with beer for some more beer, that is my idea of bliss.

Yes it is Its the new cross series with the ally hull. It was built early Jan and went into the water in May

Here's mine, a Sea Ray 200 Select. She's for sale if anyone fancies a new boat.

[PedroB]

Not 'mine' but the boat I race on at the weekends- an X-35. Raced Ramsgate week a few weeks back and did ok considering our relatively inexperienced crew this season. Finished 4th overall out of about 50 boats.

Some action shots:

One of my three.

Now that is a boat that should be seen on this website. Sailboats? meh....

I bet that sounds sublime! Do I see above waterline exhausts? I am guessing that there is a V8 in that. What make is the hull?
