24th August 2011 taking MBM to Swanage

today me and richard went to starcross to pick up M.B.M #7424
after finally strapping the boat down in the pouring rain we said our goodbyes to Paul and headed off back to swanage.
we finally arrived at 1520 and then preceeded to to unload him and weave it thru all the boats in the boatpark onto the beach.

with the help of Mike Chem and Phil Palmer and Richard we rigged MBM quickly.
MBM was put in its berth , we then set about getting the box off the road trailer and use that as the kit box on the beach, after a bit of persuasion the bolts finally gave up. around 7pm we finally finnished and went for a curry and welcome pint.

 unloading MBM
 the mast pole had to be extended so that the mast would clear the back of the van.
this method was used when getting STRAYCAT as well.
the boat travelled very well and was well tied down thanks to Richard
