May


Now, I suspect that this might actually be an interesting boat, to the right person. But what are the chances of that person picking up this calendar, hmm?

PS. Can anyone identify the make?

  2. Can't be sure as it aint my specialist area so to speak, but it looks very much like a Dawncraft cruiser from Stewpony. However here's a link to this unknown cruiser.

    You will have to scroll down almost to the bottom of this article about 4 boats from the end.

  3. I agree with Brian.

    It's almost certainly Brian Holmes' boat as featured on NBW.

    It's a steel boat, despite appearances, I think.

  4. Yes, we thought it was the NBW chap's one - but there's an amazing additional coincidence too, which I shall write about later today (Tuesday)
