20 Steam Launch - 'Dyad'

Post by Mike Cole » Tue Feb 25, 2020 1:05 pm

I am thinking of making a bid for Dyad in a few weeks when she goes up for auction. Would there be any interest in forming a group to buy her. I am based in Merseyside so the natural cruising grounds would be the lake district and the midlands. For what i understand she needs very little work to get her back in working condition.

Mike, I was thinking myself of bidding, but not without viewing, as I have seen some photos of her current condition, which could give rise for some concerns, and show an amount of remedial and cosmetic refurbishment required. She is currently stored in the open without covers.

I might be interested in being part of a small cartel to take her on, dependent on what arrangements and conditions are agreed. I'm based in S-o-T.

I was due to go today, but my 'wheels' have let me down and parts are not available for another week. :shock:

Are there any pictures of this launch? The online SBA register just has a "?" In place of any photos.
