Kennet open and on display at Burscough Wharf for the raft race weekend…. Same as four years ago.. It's nothing like 4 years ago ! The way the stem fenders were rigged, and the tying-up ropes, wasn't all that much to write home about back then, but at least some attempt at a smartly turned out ship had been made. The upper photo - this year - is a slovenly mess. Whoever left it like that ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Of course, Tony Dunkley knows all about how to tie up a boat properly.

Of course, Tony Dunkley knows all about how to tie up a boat properly. .... but perhaps not securely enough to hang on to it ..........

What a slovenly mess compared with this one ! They need to try harder. those ropes don't look tidy or even up to the job. Was this before it mysteriously floated away or after? You'd think someone with time to post repetitive drivel would have been better off maintaining his boats in a tidy if not bss worthy condition at least. But then to criticise others, can we crowdfund a gallon of brasso for his neck?

The BSS is inconsequential nonsense.

The BSS is inconsequential nonsense. Until there is a situation, like a major gas leak, or perhaps getting into an argument with CRT, when it can prove useful to retaining one's boat.

Funny how everyone but Tony is a gobshite who gets things wrong. Tell us how you tie your boats up correctly Tony? Oh no you haven’t got a boat anymore have you?
