Totally agree – though, what about ‘down’ the Thames vice up? Happy to host at mine and launch over the road at Benson. (or even enter at Oxford). Would make the route easier with the flow? I think that at a low tide, the Atalanta could get under Tower Bridge. Need to check a map. But would love to be in fine fettle with mast up (and perhaps “a bit of sail ‘for balance’ Harbourmaster”) as we went through.
Mike,
thanks – i plan to use it for extra oomph when battling the tide as my Farymann is still lacking puff until i work what is wrong/change it around (will write up my plans here soon) So it will be fixed and when i get to a mooring/harbour it will be switched off to use inboard engine only for anything that requires deft manoeuvres! I’ll ise one of the retractable brackets to dip it in/extract as required. I’ll need to drill thru and make a plate on the inside
Thanks all – took your advice and did a lot of scraping down! The main benefit of A89 is the fact that ‘Uncle Bernard’ sheathed Colchide in Marglass when she was being built. I had a short window in which to do it – which involved dodging end of Apr/early May showers – i did not quite get everything sorted – but my deadline was a rigger and this weekend in Portsmouth!! So when you do see her – please be gentle about my craftsmanship 🙂 – that said – really delighted at how fresh she’s looking.
