This year we decided to have 2 days at the boat show as there was so much to see and try, and offered our services to man the BOA stand for a few hours. would have liked to have seen more members and how about a table at the curb side with a few soft drinks? not tucked away under the hulls of the stand! Just an observation that could help improve membership
What a great 2 days we had and only managed to spend £1000!
1 new Sailright sewing machine with many attachments and portable that it can be taken on the boat I have wanted one for years so bit the bullet and bought their top of the range electric portable Great deal and tried it today, works a treat, a must if you enjoy doing minor repairs to sails or repairing spray hoods & Bimini's ect My first real play will be a pair of dodgers for the 411
2 Three new large mats for the floors downstairs managed a great deal
with £20 off per mat!
And finally we have decided after going round in circles for the last 9 months to bite the bullet and buy a new boat once the 411 is sold,
I have to add it was the best show ever for us and our thanks to all the stall holders who offered great help and this year had time to chat on the two days we were there! The new boat we have decided on ? A new 400 Beneteau Lagoon Catamaran, so now we have to sit and sharpen the pencil it's going to hurt. and might take a few months to organise but that's sailing! Our Thanks to Carl and BOA for the tickets. A great 2 days Anybody want to buy a Industrial Seiko Walking foot sewing machine with table on casters !!! before it goes on EBAY or a newly painted flag blue 411 with new bow thruster and new Garmin 4008+ new radar dome ? Looks stunning.
