Show us your FIRST EVER boat
Well if I go right back, this is our first ever boat we owned. Dad can't remember what make it was (he's getting old) but Sherbs might remember.
We used to tow it from Stockport to Rhyll in Wales every weekend where we had a caravan, and fish the river Cluid (sorry can't remember how to spell it) and out from the coast there.
The car is a ford corsair.
That's my old man launching somewhere in the lakes district (Roger or Sherbs will know)
Ocean safety for the family... Thats me up front all of about 7 year s of age
We had this boat in Ireland on holidays for 2 weeks live aboard on loch Erne.
I guess you could say I've had salt water in the veins from an early age.
Anyway I just saw these pics at the oldies and thought I would share. Surely there are a few old fellas online that have some similar pics from the 60's and 70's or perhaps older with the likes of Sherbs. (hehehe)
Now to find the pics of our "bondwood boat" our first in Australia when I was 9 years old.

C'mon Andy
a pommy Ford is not a car - an embarrassment perhaps, but not a car. Damo posted a photo of my first - AND ONLY - boat - perhaps the Corsair stacks up after all.

You are a Welshman, the boat was in Wales...
Thats the only reason I thought you might know... not because you are older than me.
