New definition of 'boning a fish'

yes, but better than facing it the other way!!! They dont tend to be in the mood to be cuddled after being dragged on to a boat......

Lol, yes very true, could leave a nasty wound Did you put it back or can you eat them?

We always put the sharks back and only keep the occasional "game fish" when they are in season, things like snook, grouper, various snappers etc. Then just take them to a local restaurant and get them to cook it in a few different ways and tuck in!

Its a shame, but I dont have the good pictures of sharks on this laptop, that type are pretty tame. Its the 6ft+ bull and lemon sharks that get lively!

Ipswich?

Yes, the muddy waters of the North Sea. Who said this was a glamours industry?

I'm berthed at Wallasea so I end up surrounded by the bloody things being PDI'd.

Once you see a complete arm of the marina taken up by them you become sick of the sight of them to be honest.

Sorry about that, I guess that's the downside of berthing at the home of our biggest dealership!!

At least you have a boat of your own to play with, for now I can only dream! A once in a while trip out of Ipswich and back isn't quite the same thing!

It's alright can be quite amusing listening to the new owners spouting about the seakeeping qualities of their new toy when I'm sitting with a pair of Don Shead designs.

I'll bet the trip out of Ipswich is an absolute pleasure only to be marred by having to return there.

It's a bit smaller than most on here, but then size isn't everything...

Here's us crossing the finish line of the ARC last year. Just getting ready to head up from the Canaries to the Azores next weekend and then on to the UK for the summer before starting again and four or six Atlantic crossings plus a couple more races....

[Simpo Two]

I don't know anything about sailing boats but that seems like a pretty good one. Lots of 'stuff' on it.



(I'd still rather swap all the crew for an engine mind you, and more food and space for me ))

Not all big sailboats need a big crew...depends on systems lots of crewed charter 60ft boats run only with Skipper and other half. All of these do accept the 76ft one. http://www.toplineyachtcharters.com/catamaran.htm
If its a cat you get nearly twice as much room.
Also boats without sails need very big fuel tanks to cross oceans...

No, the photoshoot is not scheduled until later in the year. The boat was launched at the London Boat Show in January.

Great pic...in fact there is a house directly behind your mainsail next to the row at the top in your Main/Jib slot, I almost bought a number of years ago if ours had not fallen through...gutted I was...
