No Shetland Boats at Southampton boat show

Post by admin »

Visited Southampton boat show today. No Shetland boats !!! They are listed in the programme, so I wonder why. Any one know? :o :!: :?:
There is NOTHING--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

As have been chasing an owners manual for my Shetland 27, phoned Shetland the other day and lady told me they asre very busy and not at Southampton boat show this year. Still trying to get hold of manual if anyone can help.

Do tell more Dave! There are some bits I wouldn't mind getting remoulded.

BTW it doesn't look like I shall get down to Southampton this week :( but I'll be in touch in a few days when all has settled down from the show :)

Hi

I saw James from Shetland Boats at the factory on Thursday, the reason he didnt attend the boat show was his wife went in to labour just before the show. It was a complicated birth so as you can imagine he needed to be with Mum and baby.

Cheers
