Not to be insulting,but the first word that came to my head was "cute"

NBRYANT24 · « **Reply #577 on:** November 15, 2011, 01:16:58 »

She may be small and cute, but she is great for working with creels, scallop dregs and sea angling. Really good for pottering about the coastline!

is a ghost driving that thing? i dont see anyone onboard.

NBRYANT24 · « **Reply #579 on:** November 15, 2011, 02:23:12 »

I was steering from the inside, but at the time I was kneeling down to get gear out of the lockers.

What in Dover? Did your engine fail and got stuck somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic? It's good to see an old familiar member back.

McGherkin · « **Reply #583 on:** February 16, 2012, 17:58:24 »

Not Dover, but Devonport Dockyard

Good to be back, thanks

i don't know about you guys, but i would rather own the boat instead of work on it.

Owning a superyacht isn't all it's cranked up to be..
Here's the MY Yogi, that sank off the coast of Greece last friday..

I love working on them, you get the enjoyment of going out on it, while getting payed!

Especially when the owners are nice.

As Salty said, owning a boat isn't always the best. We sold our boat, it cost over 10k just for docking fees. She was 41 feet or about 14 metres (I think)

Look on the top right, we get the perks

Oh and don't take offense to the picture, I didn't think it's too explicit. But to keep this topic clean we'll chat in cookie box.

Penta indeed

She likes rough seas, but she's lovely when it's calm

And congratulations on the job

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #595 on:** November 26, 2012, 23:14:26 »

I'm sure we have new members that have boats since this was last posted in, id love to see!

McGherkin · « **Reply #596 on:** November 26, 2012, 23:24:23 »

Old member, new(ish) boat.

I've joined the Maritime Volunteer Service, a uniformed service providing seamanship and engineering training, as well as event support and providing a support emergency service at stations all around the UK.

Here's our regional craft, MVS Curlew. She's an ex customs launch, with twin Perkins diesels. Cruises at 8kn.

Of course we also have a RIB for flood rescue, and as a tender for Curlew.
