Without a doubt, the hit of this year's festival has to be James McMullen's "Bar Tender" dinghy.
I caught a glimpse of James towing his keg laden dinghy on the way into the festival on Thursday, then gladly accepted a brew after we had set up, but it wasn't until now that I had a chance to fully appreciate it in all its glory. Beauty, brilliance, utility, usefulness, hops, barley. It's got it all. Well done James!

ReplyDeleteUm! I'm thinking if I build one like that over the winter , I'll finish it just in time for the Plymouth Classic boat show!! I could tow it around the Barbican alongside all those lovely old boats........um - now that's a cool idea!

Jim said it only took him like 4 days to build. The design was originally a baby cradle.
