translated to £2800 maybe and that is a start

my bid is £201 by the way

As for the boat crossing, see forecast below, but shouldn't be too bad by the time you get underway. The Mannannan is quite a big dinghy and handles seas reasonably - unfortunately, the bar area is the worst part of the boat as you get fumes and mucho vibrations from the engines. I find the front quiet lounge is the best part of the ship. As you get closer to the Island, you are on the leeward side when westerlies are blowing, so get some relief further into a rough crossing

Probably the wrong thread for this comment, but it brings this back to the top:

I now realise those sea areas are something akin to cockney rhyming slang, so you would go to the bathroom for a German Bight (or even a Dogger Bank!) and Rockall speaks for itself!!

Will you be offering demonstrations/white knuckle rides on Saturday?

TTS Performance

if I recover from the crossing, who's on the Friday 2.15 with me? Have to show some respect for my customers car but some quick rides shouldn't be a problem

Excellent news - this should drum up more interest & bids from attendees as I know that there are a number of interested parties
