What was his name? We did loads of research on her at Gloucester docks (where all the company records are kept). Unfortunately my ex has them all the history ie. names of captains and crew members. The paint work sounds great. Still got the 2 door bedroom? I thought that design was inspired!

Black hull and handrail trims etc, green walkways and cream around windows & roof. The cooker was rotten iside & had to be changed. We have replaced most interior wood panels with t&g pine and put in more insulation and recessed shelves for the tv, books etc. The generator was also knackered. I did not know about teh training! A former crewman did visit which was interesting....

That must have been a hell of a trip. I don't think I would risk it with such an old engine. We bought Nidd from Peter & Jenny White in November 2005 at H2O, St Jean De Losne. While in generally good condition, it needed a facelift and we have done a lot to improve it. We changed the kitchen and removed the stove which was corroded due to there being no chimney flue.

Hi there. Yes. When did you own her and where? We are to be lifted out tomorrow for a survey and a paint job at Agde, in the south of France. She's looking and performing great. I'd love to hear from you.
