Many were the occasions when boats

Many were the occasions when boats were launched without drainage bungs being replaced. However Roger Bristow recalls a trick played on him for good measure, by Club yardman Ken Snell, who was quite a ‘character’:

‘Ken saw that I was putting my bondwood powerboat in for the first time, making sure that everything was right. Ken noted that I had not put the bungs in, but, to teach me a lesson, said nothing. He lowered the flattop, and away I went to fish. I roared out, stopped, and out went the anchor. I was suddenly aware that the boat was sinking. In a panic I called on the radio ‘get the flat-top down quick’. Ken had left it down, and in his slow drawl said ‘better get that bloody tub back before it turns into a submarine’. Back I came in a hurry, onto the trailer and out of the water. Again I went back out to fish, most embarrased, with Ken laughing on the radio.’.

Banyak sekali kesempatan ketika perahu diluncurkan tanpa bungs drainase diganti. Namun Roger Bristow ingat trik bermain pada dirinya untuk mengukur baik, oleh Klub tukang kebun Ken Snell, yang cukup 'karakter': 'Ken melihat bahwa saya menempatkan perahu motor bondwood saya untuk pertama kalinya, memastikan bahwa semuanya benar. Ken mencatat bahwa saya tidak menempatkan bungs, tapi, untuk mengajarkan saya sebuah pelajaran, mengatakan apa-apa. Dia menurunkan flattop, dan pergi aku pergi ke ikan. Aku meraung keluar, berhenti, dan keluar pergi jangkar. Saya tiba-tiba menyadari bahwa kapal itu tenggelam. Dalam kepanikan aku menelepon di radio 'mendapatkan datar top down cepat'. Ken telah meninggalkannya bawah, dan di aksen lambat nya mengatakan 'lebih baik mendapatkan bak berdarah kembali sebelum berubah menjadi sebuah kapal selam'. Kembali saya datang terburu-buru, ke trailer dan keluar dari air. Sekali lagi saya kembali ke ikan, paling malu, dengan Ken tertawa di radio. ".
