Jim Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Wow ! That's what I thought as I zipped out from Poole Harbour today. My engine's done the " run in " and today was my first chance to " give it some " and see what the Tidler could do on a flat sea. 30 knots or 34.5 mph ! ! ! She sits beautifully on the water too. I did a bit of fishing and caught my ususal . . . . .nowt ! The day was all about me getting used to my boat. Well -- - - - -I'm in love. It's wicked. Saw Stuie in the harbour and after a chat, he took some pictures of the Tiddler in action. I'm hoping he'll post a few on here. This probably reads like an advert or sales pitch. I'm just chuffed. Stopped for a chat with the skipper of Kelly's Hero on the way back through Holes Bay. Then saw Martin at Cobb's slipway. A very good day to be out, and a lovely boat to be afloat on.

Jim Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Brian, Them's lovely Tubes. Tiddler's tubes are still in my imagination, but various styles are being considered. I need to get them sorted soon though. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 There are some good points of crap weather. Gives us a chance for some TINKERING Tiddler's new tubes are now fitted. I've raised my GPS. It was hidden behind the Steering wheel and now I can see it clearly. I've mounted some Mahogany to screw accessories to. Still lots more tinkering to do but it's time for some nice weather now. We can but hope ! Jim Rob and niggle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
