That was a Broom 44 with think black lines but a white hull.

Let's have a good time in our Mobo's, but watch our wash [Re: Cuchilo]
      #1802950 - 28/03/2008 20:45

OK, since I started this thread, hopefully I can now finish it with a couple of closing thoughts:

- It looks like the blue/black hulled boat did not come from the TMYC, so apologies if any of the above threads have caused offense to any TMYC members.

- The boat was not called Jolly Rotter, so again, not TMYC.

I shall endeavour to keep my wash to a minimum (even around the island at Windsor ) - hopefully other Mobo users will too.

Right, I'm off to try and find a life now, with a few tipples down the rub-a-dub.

Thank you. Apology accepted. It's just a pity that Byron has not had the grace to do the same. He was the one who stirred it all up. But! he's been very quite since then. I wonder why.

Subject, so far as I'm concerned now closed. Thank you all for your patience and good humour.

Now that is really interesting. TMYC was at Wraysbury last Easter. This is well documented and I have photos to show for it.

Sorry been out all day. What do you want me to apologise for? Relating the ATYC incident? OK! everyone, I apologise most profusely and humbly for remembering it.

I think the discussion veered off towards last easter ( 2007) , in which case , TMYC were indeed at Wraysbury
