I noticed today that the good ship Helvetia is now under offer at Braunston,I notice also that the asking price has
crept up to just under £35000 which I suppose is an attempt to cover the Brokers Fees.Interesting it never found
a buyer on Apollo Duck,you would have thought they covered a larger marketplace than any broker could hope to
achieve.Still congratulations and fingers crossed on David Schweizers behalf,It was great entertainment while it lasted.

Which is a bit daft because if the boat is being sold on brokerage then the purchaser has few more rights than if it was being sold privately.

As an aside, I got a phone call from a lovely lady boater yesterday telling me she was expecting a baby with her boyfriend,
and was in the process of purchasing a wide beam.Apparently she had heard from another boater about an 82 year old lady
who had bought a wide beam to live upon with her son,son cleared off wide beam for sale.It just goes to show,boaters still
sell to boaters on the towpath and often without a survey.
