Well the never ending restoration of my Stapely is nearly there, a couple or so days should see her ready for trials on Soton water. Belly tank & some fuel pipework fitted since these pictures were take this afternoon. Engine has had a full rebuild as well so lots to check!

Good to see it all coming together. Been a long while . I imagine you are heading for the emerald isle with it so no chance of seeing you at Chersey. Hope it performs well.

Am 5 mins walk away, so would be great to catch up?

Alacrity, looking forward to trial day...be nice if there's sun and flat water - seeing Scandal tomorrow, so perhaps he can do one of his anti-rain dances; while I work some witch-doctor ju-ju with a scrawny Esmeralda chicken from Co-Op.

She is looking great, you will be a hard man to keep up with but at least if you bring her over you will get a chance to open her up

Yes Floater, the plan, all being well, is to take her to Ireland next month. I only hope they have enough fuel reserves over there to fuel her whilst there!

I would appreciate all you & Scandal can do re. the weather Rapier, I know you have had success in the past!
