Thanks for the update. I can't find her in fleabay. I wish I had the money too.

 Anyone know what happened to the Hants & Doeset that was for sale in Essex some months ago...?

If anyone knows of an old LCP Landing  craft ( that's not attached to a roundabout),  I'd love to get one to do up.

Happy New Year to one & all..

Its a shame she's up for sale as tony & his wife certainly had the drive to look after her. Hoping he'll bounce back from health problems. 3years is a long time for a wooden boat but she was stunning last time i was aboard & only missing her scott hall engines, strecther saloon on rear deck(which is still in galmpton) & guns to make her original. Not expecting good news in this economic climate but i'm off to talk to my bank manager just in case. If anyone thinking of buying a barge ect then beat me to this one at half the price

A boat is a hole in the water surrounded by wood, into which one throws money

Western Lady IV has recently been sold, she is heading for the Isle of Wight where she will be permanently berthed

I was in Rye at Christmas and saw a boat called Western Lady IV.  Looked to be in a poor state.  Is this really the Western Lady on which I made many trips across Torbay in my schooldays after the war. Didn't get the chance to see her close up, but I have a good friend in Rye whom I might persuade to go down and have a look.  Meantime - any news from anyone??

Hi there,
 
Oh dear, there was a picture of her along side at Rye I think, "looked" OK but as you say, if not being looked after very sad indeed, a lot of money and effort was spent on her, note she was due at the IOW, location dose not matter if as I say, she is not looked after, many thanks,
 
Johnk
