old working boats and new working boats, but i agree my grammar could have been better. anyway i was wrong as it is now the member that is the member and not the owner of any particular boat
good point well made. i had forgotten the membership rules had changed
there have been loads of carrying boats built since the hnbc cut off date but non are applicable to join - there club there rules i spose. just like adele most have ended up with pleasure boat cabins
the hnbc response will be very predictable as unless it is a pre1960 (when the last working boats were built) commercial cargo boat or tug it will be declined. the historic ships is simpler in that it sets its mark as minimum 50 years old with a number of conditions around construction and methods of restoration etc. there are a few 50 year old narrow boats in the historic register now that were built for pleasure. the philosophy of these two organisations is quite different and their common use of the word historic is misleading and allows some people to be playful and others to be lead up the garden path
hydrus has box handrails through out its length or are you on about another boat
presenting info available at the time is not stupid, and presenting the link is relevant and helpfull
