Happy motoring

Canal boat for the long hot summers. Looks like it fell off the back of a lorry, you should know better by now!

Looks like your the winner John although technically its a kayak or sea kayak if we are splitting hairs. I owe you a pint or two :)
sixteen and a half feet of stunning kevlar and carbonfibre, I got mine built in british racing green deck, red trim and white hull, feather light. Joyce had hers done all white. If only I could make the Allora bodywork look half as good :(

No engine! At the Stoneleigh canoe show at the weekend there was a water jet powered kayak on show. Amazing piece of kit. You sit on top of the pump with the engine, fuel tank and battery under your legs. All in a kayak seven feet long. Does 40 knots :D

Allen, use plain english for me poor brain, had to look that up and you have a point up to a point :) You were the first person to use the kayak word but you yourself stated "John I think you are right" So yes its a draw. Need to make sure you get to the September meet to claim your prize :D :D

Happy motoring to you all and happy paddling to me :D

Cheers
