Not sure if they are for sale as its very difficult to locate the owners. The only guys in the yard are Indian & couldnt tell you what day of the week it was without wobbling their heads from side to side.

Come to think of it, they might be Gav's cousins.

I know nothing about any of these boats apart from the fact that they have all remained here static for 8 months that i know of.

Trying to locate their owners is proving difficult.

Its a shame Negotiator wasnt there, i didnt have my camera with me the last time she was there.

The two sky blue and white bat boats are the open cockpit design with the roll over bars! They may be left over from film work as their is also a blade runner in sky blue too.
