I had the great experience of being helmsman (for 2 hours) on Valsheda some years ago when she visited the Isle of Man. Its one of those memories that never fade. Tom

This one has a nice little video on the history of Chris-Craft and one on the Gar wood's 8,000hp challenge and the Harmsworth Trophy. Might even be a few other boats.  [ www.myvirtualpaper.com] My builds. [ s753.photobucket.com] [ s753.photobucket.com]

Fergal, your expert advice/thoughts on the " soon to be seen on a waterway near you" craft in the pictures below, or help from anyone would be appreciated. She is a rivetted aluminium runabout, age or make unknown and came more or less as seen. Length is 13' 7" and beam is 5' 0" and there is a 25hp outboard in the pipeline. The deck fittings, seats etc. will be crucial to the finished look, any advice welcome,. Joe.

Thanks, Fergal, I have gone through the online classic mags and there are some real beauts there. Would be a pity to spoil what is a pretty little craft for the sake of the finishing touches. Thanks again, Joe.

Right it turns out it's a SARO TERRAPIN and according to the guy's on CMBA they are hard to find in that good a condition it dates from 1958/59 and thats the original steering wheel, the one on the wall next to it may be a pearly miss

Fergal, I really, really appreciate your detective work on this, I spoke with a certain tall person on the Royal Canal outing on Sunday and apart from showing a big interest in the boat himself, he told me to run it by yourself. The " Saro Terrapin" name will sit better with the young owner (his first boat) a bit better than "Pearly Miss", levels of coolness! The boat beside her in the shed is a "Sea Nymph" which prompted his interest in aluminium, which is better than the big rib and O/B he initially craved. Thanks again and I am sure to get involved with the CMBA guys in time, Joe.
