Dunno about that!

As said, argonweld in kent (i think)

Or mebbe Cunninghams near Arandel (littlehampton)

Or 'The Tank Company' in poole, this used to be Malcolm Cole, but he recently sold his firm to Simon Wood-Power ('Penpromo' on this forum) so I assume Simon also does the tank stuff, try PM-ing him, and I'll find Cunninghams No, and post it.

High tide is for 5:14pm on Sunday - so I guess launching will be around 3 hours before high water at Lymington.

Could meet for a spot of lunch at the Mayflower (pub near slipway) first though.

Any thoughts?

How about an 11am on the water muster at lymington for those that can make it then, off to do some testing/screaming around, stop off for lunch somewhere, head back to lymington for 2:30 to 3 for the latecomers, scream round for the rest of the afternoon.
