    Its all very funny until it happens to you.

    Here's a pic of one of my small restoration projects from last month.



    I feel for him

    I should add I did ask suity to install his BPM system, just a month earlier, the insurers are still trying to work out whether that had any bearing.

    It's not an aircraft carrier, it's the new Thames Estuary airport.

    Did he not test to see if it was waterproof before dropping it in the sea?

    I thought you were a bremoaner that is far too honest.
    Don't worry, it was pitched above your level.

    Yeah it didn't look overly 'finished' did it...

    Not sure whether those yachts have a single or multi skinned hull but the few times i did something like this on smaller dinghies the best option was to put water in the boat and see if it came out whilst on dry land - because then you could tell whether when you put it in the water the water would come in.

    Having said that bit of a shame for the fella!

    Should have known better than to invite you to the launch ceremony.
