I must be lucky, all the boats I have ever been to view have been more or less as described.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146624512708656428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882921.post-7421431573393943372014-08-24T20:14:14.631+01:002014-08-24T20:14:14.631+01:00Richard,

The owner had placed a misleading advert at Apollo Duck describing her as being in good nick.<br /><br />I've had that before.<br /><br />This sort of deception can be expensive and time wasting for the person viewing. The worst case for me was a Four 21 at Thorney Island, Chichester Harbour. Photos showed the boat as pristine, but when I saw her, she was a wreck!! Seeing her cost me a day, plus money for petrol. The owner was unrepentent.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Bill.William Serjeanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419676353659137355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882921.post-72212013134704082922014-08-24T00:36:18.114+01:002014-08-24T00:36:18.114+01:00Hello Bill, that sounds just my type of club.

That is a lovely club though, with friendly and helpful members. Unfortunately, they don't have very much in the way of lay-up facillities.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146624512708656428noreply@blogger.com
