Hi Nige! Welcome to our little corner of Birchwood heaven!

Yes, it would be good if you could post any info on the boats because it's in very short supply.  There's been at least one request for specific measurements as someone was looking to do a substantial rebuild and wanted exact distances.

In fact, there might be a bit of part-time work for your brother!

Again, welcome and we look forward to seeing pics of your newly acquired boat!

Hi Nige
Wecome to the Forum. I bought my first boat, a '22' late last summer. Unfortunately, I allowed my heart to rule my head and had her taken to Norfolk straightway, despite knowing that I wished to carry out a lot of cosmetic improvements. I wish I had 'Constance' on my drive instead of her being 3 hrs away as progress is obviously a bit slow because of that. I'm only half an hour down the M1 and am frequently around Notts. I'd like to have a nosy around your boat sometime and see if we can be of mutual help.
