Hi All, watchout there is a lucker about, the boat being talked about it a 60ft Evans & Son built in 2000 named 'Edgewood Dirk' and is powered by a relatively rare Thornycroft RJ2 water-cooled engine.
how do i know this - I have as a marine surveyor carried out an insurance valuation for them and also a BSS for these friends of mine. very good to see that the Beeb are showing nice pictures of the canal system and boats. best regards to all, iain jones ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Streeter To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 7:01 PM Subject: Re: [canals-list] Re: BBC news website again likes boats Andrew Dyke wrote: > Not positive no, so if not a Hudson, a what?

Easily mistaken for a Hudson - especially with those washers tacked on round the bow, but on reflection the bow lines aren't right. I have never made any great study on Hudson front lamps, so couldn't comment on Andrew's observation. Just noticed that the washers are only around the bow and not all down the sides. Never seen a Hudson like that. Surely he didn't run out of washers part way through the build! Terry Streeter NB Arun - Nottingham [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
