KNOTTEND

Nice one guys good luck on the launch

the meerkat heart beats

can't get out this weekend because of weather it's looking like next week now

unlucky with the weather, it's going to be a long week, good luck with the launch when you do make it.

cheers mate i will put it up when we get out.

here's some pics of today we are so close i can smell the sea



















I DO HAVE TO SAY A BIG THANKS TO TC FOR ALL HIS HELP CHEERS MATE

Unlucky chris at least jonty and steve might be able to make itnext week

Don't forget to block off that deck drain exiting on the stern. If you don't, it will be the fastest launch/recovery in history.

its in the car TC so it's not for got

It'll be a proud day when the Meerkat floats on the water and the engine kicks life into what was a very sorry, knackered old lady. (All you Newbies, have a look at the earliest posts!)

I'll echo Chris's thanks to TC for his words of wisdom and encouragement. It's also reassuring to know the guidance is there to keep us safe. Cheers mate!

It's taken a long time, but she's now got a new lease of life thanks to the hard work of my crew-mates. Biggest thanks to Chris and Jonty for doing all the hard, dirty and painstaking work.
Thanks too to my mate Cloughie (who's really gone through it over the past year, and still has some way to go) for his help doing my bit. It seems a long long time ago we were driving back from Chris's having been fed and tea'd up by Kaz (cheers hun!).

It's gonna be a very emotional day when I'm sat on the Meerkat with 3 really good mates. Catching fish ????? that'll just be a bonus!

I'm keeping an eye on the weather and hoping I can be back mid-week in time for the sea-trial. Weekend though is a cert, providing George can pull a few strings for some force 1 Southerlies and blue skies.

Well done guys, when you finally get it wet and if i am off i'll pop up and witness the launch

wednesday is looking the best up to now but that can change
