Hi Jimmy  Best call Clarkes!  I dont think they would be too keen to have her back on their hardstanding though!  My understanding was they put her where she is now due to unpaid yard fee's!

Not been down to my boat for a few weeks but I guess 145 is still looking about the same, that said, the stbd side is slowly unpeeling from the rest of the hull.

Anybody got timber they can spare to patch & strengthen her? I can be there 3rd sept if she holds together long enough. If someone can finish my parents house before 1st sept i'll be there in a week. What will clarkes yard charge for a 63footer per month? Dont think she's leaving mersea without major strengthening but worth a look if only hope she has. how many whalebacks left?

If anyone catches the buggers who did this to the old girl i have an idea.
  Send them out to sea with little training on a boat considered disposable. Then get someone to hit & run them with spandau's & 88's. If they still feel like big men after what original crews saw then fairplay. Glad she's safe now, sorry the little b*****ds didnt drown on her!

Subject: Air-Sea rescue Launches used by the TRNVR?
Posted: 24 July 2010 at 12:25pm

Two air-sea rescue launches are listed as manned by the Trinidad Royal Naval Volunteer reserve from December 1940 and were attached to the newly set up Observer School at Piarco on the island.
 
A third was reportedly taken over by the TRNVR in 1942.
 
Does anyone know the type and serial numbers of the three vessels concerned?
 
Many thanks,
 
Sid.

Hi there
I was wondering whether i would be able to visit the Garth at somepoint - I own the Avon and I am currently refurbishing her; get a look at the how the bits look originally would be really useful
Any guidance would appreciated
Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard,
 
Well done on your grant for the engines, at least something from National Historic Ships, a few crumbs to our historic ships, for how long we don't know with the current situation, but at least it helps you, as you say, I would encourage those on the register to at least apply, and those not, well perhaps you might get something if they are around in six months.

As far as grants are concerned you stand a good chance of getting some funding from the Historic Ships Register once you have been registered for 6months. You do not need to be a registered charity but obviously it is favoured. I have just been awarded some funding towards new engines for the Avon
Cheers
Richard
