Here is the 10 foot GRP Ferrantisail boat I rowed to Hoveton Little Broad. Named Isabelle, it was ours a decade or more ago, and then we gave it to our curate as his need seemed to be greater than ours (we just weren't using it). He got promoted to vicar of a nearby parish and we lost sight of it and him. We borrowed it back from him a few days ago, and were surprised and pleased that the lights board still had our number plate on it (he'd been fixing his own over the top). So it was all ready for us to tow away....
It was good fun rowing it about again. We did sail it now and again, but rigging and derigging every time we took it out was just too time consuming. We did have an outboard engine, but that wasn't reliable. Actually it's still in our garage, untouched for years.
Oh, Unlawful Assembly? Yes, that's what the vicar has named the boat.
