Now that is not very nice. Who would steal a model boat. I don't live near there, surrey man, but I hope they find the boats. I know how much work goes into them.

Hoping for good news.

Apparently the boats have now been recovered safely. They had been 'rescued' by a local driving instructor in a rubber dinghy but his message to that effect had apparently been overlooked.

All's well that ends well!
