Hi all,
We've just joined the site after meaning to a long time ago.
We are the proud owners of 2595,
We've had her for 2 years now, and are planning to take her out of the water at the end of the year if all goes well, She's moored just outside Barcelona, so the work will take place over there.
We have some photo's and history but would like more, so if you have any please get in touch.
Thanks Craig ------------- craig |

Hi there, Many thanks, looks great, to see her in a sunny and dry climate! but sure, as we are doing with the decks of the Paddle Steamer Medway Queen, need to keep timbers tight with some wetting? all the best, Johnk |

We are thinking of bringing 2595 back to the uk, anyone have any boat transporters they can recommend, due to size probably bring it back by boat not road,
Thanks Craig ------------- craig |

HI Craig, Ah, well plenty of fresh water falling from the sky here at present.....are you sure?!!!!!!, well, a water transport, don't know any myself sorry, just be careful though, boat was lifted onto a ship at Gib, and they put the strops in the the wrong place causing crushing of the hull.... I think get what you pay for, and that may not be cheap....., any how, again, not a lot of use I know but perhaps others on the forum may be of more use, all the best, Johnk |
