There won't be many people coming from the SW as you can't get to the trunk roads to get out. Unhappy

Does this also make the Farr a PY bandit?

I remember that! It was originally an administration error, the owner had ordered the boat with black topsides.

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Well Zeon, come and find me at the Show - that's not difficult I can assure you - and then tell me if you think it was a good idea or not!

Roads are pretty terrible around here. Towing would be pretty stupid here.
I would guess it's a customer's boat and I would be withdrawing the loan if it was mine.

the organisers have little option, any cancellation insurance will only kick in if access is impossible to all and the mechanics of a load of exhibitors with cancelled hotels etc a nightmare.

I cant even get my car out of my gate let alone drive down the lane!

stay safe guys

Hi Davidyacht
Pleased to say we are supposed to be having a Phantom on the Ovington stand.
Lets just hope they can make it from the North East after this week.

Sorry but I preferred your boat without the  Fablon fake carbon look on your Farr.
Cant believe its the 2nd of March and nobody has mentioned the new PY'S as Graham has bought one the 3.7 is bound to have an EN now, said you should have gone on the committee. LOL

Well there are a couple of really good examples for sale right now, both tricked out as I will eventually with mine, but they have that 'wood look' which unfortunately isn't compatible with my hard core kiter image it's bad enough I have to use alooominum on my lake boat but luckily no-one can see it down there.

On the weather front.. ahem it's started to snow again here
