Having just caught up on all the messages since board reinstated could I have a word about a couple of points made?
I am not sure about the suggestion that Southsea could replace Balmoral...as far as I could see she needs all the work that Balmoral has already had. Balmoral even has new engines. Southsea is a better sea boat(maybe) but surely a 1948 boat in poor condition could not be a logical replacement for a 1949 boat in good condition. Both would be ideal..but WSN are not biting that bullet!! Portsdown was a paddler , not a motorvessel.
