I've kept it quiet untill now because I had boats lined up, for two very different reasons they've no longer been for sale, I am on the lookout for an HDML, any leads gratefully receieved, I know of Gibel Tarik, unfortunatley out of my budget, TSR and Pride of the Dart, I'm ultimatley after something with original engines, even if that means re-intalling them, they're half of the interest for me. Suggestions anyone. Bare hull does not scare me, nothing really bad though!
P.S Before anyone suggests Lewina, she was my second boat, now sadly burned so no longer even an option! |

(medusa site??????)
Just googled for you.... Mentions Shearwater with a couple of pictures http://www.road-to-the-isles.org.uk/westword/april2002.html - Scottish Isles local newsletter Unfortunately, doesn't say what happened after 2002... Sarinda is listed on the National Register of Historic Vessels http://www.nhsc.org.uk/index.cfm/event/getVessel/vref/1135 - Sarinda Pride of the Dart, same place again http://www.nhsc.org.uk/index.cfm/event/getVessel/vref/297 - Pride of the Dart Sounds like she was involved in an accident in 2002 http://www.irishseashipping.com/archives/news/2002/072002/072002.htm - Manx News report scroll to the bottom of the page- has a photo of the boat. Searching for the boat also gives links to the Coastguard Agency (?) report on the accident Sorry, I can't find anything on the other boats- maybe they have been renamed as searching for the boat name Abri brought up a more modern boat in the UK. |

the tsr has been promised to me..if your intrested shes yours..however the score is that it will be a lift onto the truck to shift her same day.no leaving in harbour..she is free(as is the lift) but you pay for transport. so you take her and take your chanses.2 to 3 k for transport. ------------- |

But that is life.i simply was not quick enouth. ------------- |
