Well after about 35/40 years, Carvalin finally made it back in to the water....

Carvalin due to be ready although not finished next weekend. Would have loved to have come down, but I feel that a pootle up the Thames might be a slightly more sensible approach Fingers crossed.

Many thanks for the welcome!

(I can send phots) b) Locating various bits and bobs such as cleats, spot lights etc? c) Finding a period engine? Any help, gu...
