I spotted an interesting one briefly yesterday as I drove past the boat yard beside the A259 in Shoreham. I didn't have time to stop and go back for a closer look though. It was the same as Osprey, a big Vosper (I think) Air Sea Rescue boat. It's out the water and looks like it's been stripped to bare wood.

Any idea what it is?

If I am back in the area I will go and get for a picture.

RTTL 2751 is now in situ at The Sussex Yacht Club, Shoreham, Sussex on a mud birth where she is soon to come ashore. It is a private members club with a public access car park next to the boat.

Should any members of the forum be in the area and I am aboard feel free to knock on the side and have a look around.

Cheers
