| MY DAD DESIGNED A 38 FOOT MOTOR CRUISER IN 1972 AND BUILT IT IN 2 LOCATIONS IN HARTLEPOOL WITH TWO FRIENDS. |
 |
| HE MADE IT 38 FOOT BECAUSE BOATS OVER 40 FOOT HAD TO PAY MUCH MORE HARBOUR FEES. |
 |
| THE BUILD STARTED ON BRENDA ROAD IN HARTLEPOOL. |
 |
| THE HULL TAKES SHAPE. |
 |
| IT THEN MOVED TO HERRINGS SCRAP YARD ALSO IN HARTLEPOOL I WOULD SIT WITH AN AIR RIFLE TO SHOOT AT RATS, IF ANYONE WAS WORKING UNDERNEATH. |
 |
| ERRRR DAD ! HEALTH AND SAFETY! |
 |
| AGAIN ... HEALTH AND SAFETY ... TWO OIL DRUMS, WE WOULD PUT TWO PLANKS ON HERE FOR STAGING... I SPENT A LOT OF TIME PAINTING HER. |
 |
| FINALLY IT WAS OFF THROUGH THE TOWN TO THE DOCKS, AROUND 8 YEARS OF WEEKENDS SINCE STARTING. |
 |
| HE WAS HAPPY AS LARRY. THE INSIDE WAS TO FIT OUT; HE WAS GOOD AT WOODWORK TOO. |
 |
| A ROUGH SKETCH HE MADE FOR A SPEEDBOAT. I REMEMBER HIM SAYING HE ALSO WANTED TO BUILD A STEEL COBLE! BEACH BUOY. |
