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."

Congrats.....and a Braidbar Boat. Well we both know just how good they are, smart lines. Enjoy and I look forward to reading the story here on how you make it your own and of course your first adventures on board.
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?
Jim
Nice one Adam
She looks smart. Will keep an eye out for you on the cut.
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!
Sue, nb Indigo Dream
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.
Adrian - Adam
Delighted to read your news! I am playing catch-up with my blog so I have only just spotted your post, well done and look forward to meeting you and YOUR new boat out here...

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.

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