Always wanted to do a Narrowboat pull using the kinetic strap !!!

Looks great.

 

A question:- I'm doing our roof in a couple of weeks - where did you get the sanding discs and the 'large' wire wheel from?

 

There's some absolute cr*p for sale abrasives wise and you seemed to have sourced some decent gear.

 

Don't want to get set up for the weekend and find I run out of discs half way through.

 

Thanks

They carry a good range of abrasives and you're right the prices are keen.

 

I'd be happier using a proper abrasives company like these.

 

Thanks for that.

Unfortunantly not Simon, when R.W. purchased her in 1989/90 from Foxton Boat Services he had the original engine room and back cabin cut and the new conversion put on

Although most of the back cabin furniture and engine room stuff remained including the soft patch the cabins were lost

 

After much extensive research work by Lise ( and a few calls by me to friends) we found that although Baldock had been on the WW-CTS contract she had PROBABLY never been painted in WW-CTS colours.

 

For the historians and purists out there who have said and will comment " In that case you should not have painted her in this colour scheme" we do have a very good answer.

 

Lise and I own the company, so we have repainted her in OUR company colours

 

 

if you go down that road the she would have to be repainted orange and grey and the FBS livery reapplied as Richard and I discussed many years ago Baldock, Coleshill and Virginis probably all carried the FBS livery for more years than any other paint scheme.

Yes I agree and Lise n I really like the FBS colour scheme ...BUT>>> Can you image the following scenario :

 

fbs. Ring Ring of Telephone .......Hello Foxton Boat services

 

C. One of your bloody hirers has just forced me on the bank in my new Steve Hudson shiny boat and went off laughing

 

fbs. What was the name of the boat ?

 

C. Baldock.......
