        Well one of the shiny white ones would be OK
        I am surprised Ziggy has not taken one for trips around Zummerzet

          Jack, those white ones wouldn't be enough of a challenge for him so he's already started on sorting out one of them

                    Zigs, I think you'd be better off continuing your work on this one!

                          I always feel a bit sad when I see an abandoned boat on the beach or in the water, gets me thinking about the places it's been, the weather and storms it got through and the people who manned it!:dunno:

                              Cor Zigs! This one wouldn't take much converting into a long boat, you could ask Jungle Jane to carve you a figurehead. :biggrin:
