The link takes you to a different boat. Thought you need to know.

WB43 now sold. Best of luck to the new owner

Hi Dave,
Can you tell me when Cockle WB 106 was built and who the first owner was? I am interested as I have just bought her. Thanks, Chris.

Thank you. I am looking forward to getting her on the water next year. Chris.

Hi thats very kind of you to find the images, thank you. I will try to upload what Kairos has which is pretty wedged in and substantial. I am ideally wanting a removable option to move forwards with. Love the dual purpose post which you have designed, looks great.

Hi all-'Cockle' has been sold to Mr Chris Adeney and I wish him many happy hours with this lovely little boat-Robin.

Hello Jilly,

I found in my archive some pictures while making the compression post.
On the pictures you see the post and how it is fixed. On the bottem  its is fixed through the wooden floor ( and that is not on the pictures).
We use the compression post as an holder for a little table.
It works very well. And the problem of the bending cockpitroof is solved.
Greetings, Barend

WB 106 Cockle was built in 1996 for a customer living in Southampton and was originally called 'BABOT B'.

I have just bought WB 106, Cockle. Do you have any information on this boat?

Hi both, thank you. Moving from a Shipmate in part to get away from internal obstructions the post is a pain. I like the sound of making it removable. Do you have any pictures of your arrangements. Thank you both again. Jilly.
