Survey report

The survey report has arrived.  I couldn't resist going straight to page 12, for the conclusion.  It says that Briar Rose is a good boat, and the price is fair.  The report contains a number of suggestions and reccommendations for things which should be changed, but there's nothing urgent.  The report is incredibly detailed.  My favourite line concerns the hull: "The hull is built to good and attractive lines with fine entries fore and aft, in short as good as they come."

    Delighted with your news. It sounds like a great boat. I hope Briar Rose will meet up with Herbie some time.

    Congratulations Adam, Briar Rose looks a really good boat. I hope she can meet up with Starcross some time. Have you got a mooring arranged yet?

    When do you 'officially' take ownership?

    I have to change my phone directory from "Adam and Adrian Debdale" to "Adam and Adrian Briar Rose"!

    Whooo Hoooo!

    Thanks for all the messages.

    Sue: we officially take ownership in the middle of next week.

    Jim: BR is at Brinklow, and we're staying there for at least six months. That'll give us time to work out where we want to be.

    David: strangely, I've never reviewed a Braidbar boat (Kevin always got those jobs!). I have done plenty of Tim Tyler shells, though, so I know how well they handle.

    Hi Guys, If I'm right Briar Rose belonged to Jonathan, one of the Harbour Masters at Brinklow, should be an excellant boat as he is a Marine Electrician.
    regards

    Yes, you're right, John is one of the harbour masters and is a boat mechanic. It's certainly a well looked after boat.
