Geoff Brown on Sea Scouts

As I say, we bought, others we acquired them very cheaply and quite often I can remember when we bought our first plastic pulling boat, a 14 footer, we went up to the … the guy said, “Oh, it’s at Folly’s.”

So, we looked in at Folly, we went back up to Carisbrooke and said, “Yes, we’re interested in it.” “Oh, by the way” he said, “I’ve got all this lot, I’m giving up boating.”

When we opened his garage, it was solid of come in handy boating gear. It lived out in our entrance hall I think for a long time ‘till we worked out what to do with it. It was everything that you could think of which was useful.

That’s the thing is …but most of the boats, we’ve actually bought over a period of time.
