Pfft . glad to be back on thanks for the help Alan. Seems strange in all the years that I use this provider I never had spam. One would suppose the ones connected to the provider would be the first victims. On to boats. There is a chap in Holland who is building one of the bigger round ribbed boats from the Selway Fisher range. Have a look at http://www.mszwerver.nl/ As far as boatbuilding is concerned this is one of the most detailed. Must admit however that it is a bit of putting as this is a massive woodwork task. If you like to live dangerous you can order a set of teaser plans for the boat you like from Selway to get an idea of what's waiting. Try to visit the steamboat people as much as you can, if you become a regular face they are more reluctant to give info. Also do join the society as if you turn up at events, make contact beforehand, there is a big chance you can go along with one of the boats. That's the most interesting part as most of the meetings are boat trips while the boats spend only a short time at the mooring and can only be seen in the morning or evening and then the crew is to occupied to give you much attention.
