Why did you remove your comments about his hangers on?  It makes the following comments nonsensical

Maybe the power of CBF let him know it would not do his business any good.  Maybe they were CBF members??  :D

slightly off topic Kaptainkrunchie but my hubby Marc designed and made the toerail fittings for the Swans for Gavin (owner?) He agrees these are beautiful boats.
He belives that there were two kept at Hamble, Hampshire.

Yes, Pompeylil, these are well- built, classic boats (bit like E-Types or old Bentleys.) The finish is superb; little things like the screwheads all lining up set it apart from most other boats.
This one is nearly 20yrs old but looks as good as new. She was actually based on the Hamble and the owner took 4or 5 years to sail her to Turkey.
