Thanks for posting

When I posted it I had rapier in mind, fumbling excitedly the drawstrings on his anorak identifying all the boats. I only managed a couple , Albatross and Shakespeare. And I own a piggin Yarecraft

It's a '63-65 Merc 20hp, so not large, but lots more power than the 18hp Johnnyrude. Effectively 1/2 a 50hp - 22cu.in...work that one out .

I'm sure I spotted a couple of bristols
