Sounds about right, never seen swallow, but ive heard a fair bit about her on our travels south, apprently she was a ricky festaval this year? We met tixals new owner about this time last year, he was yet to steam her, but planned to move her north to adderley i beleave. - He came aboard emilyanne, and we discused steamboats, tixal having the same engine as emilyanne. According to current issue of the steamboat register (7th ed, may2000) Theres also "energy" "pussywillow" "sidney" and "benson" - I havnt seen or heard of eather of these, but i'd be supprised if atleast one of them wasnt still about? - Theres also of cause the story on monach, which is nolonger steam, and currently up for sale again. And the of cause theres the narrowboat Geofflaycock is in the process of building aroung another 4.5+7.5*4 leak compund. - Seams to be geting on with it treat, and i keep meaning to go and see it again. --- In [email protected], "Michael Askin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I notice from this image: > > http://www.geocities.com/jeremiahobrien/dry1.jpg > > that the rudder is split into two halfs.

That said, we are serously considering fitting a schilling rudder to emilyanne next time she's out of the water (spring of next year) Daniel Yahoo!
