Having missed the 2005 Beale boatshow due to ill health I returned refreshed in 2006
The usual family atmosphere applied – lots of interesting people just having fun – and the weather was glorious which always helps.

- A very good selection of Chuffers this year
- ‘Consuta’, gorgeous as always.
- My favorite bit of brightwork – aspirational stuff
- Glorious curves – all the way from Orkney
- A lovely Melonseed – another candidate for ‘I want to build one’
- A Beale Paradox
- Momentarily took my fancy – then I looked at the freeboard
- Francis Raynes entered this Oughtred Badger Skiff in the WCABBC – and won
- A couple of lovely Pete Lawrence canoes – took third in the WCABBC
- John Hall’s Oughtred Gannett, WCABBC entry
- Tim O’Connor paddling his own canoe
- Grandson Liam taking to the water for the first time, Humble Bee ‘B.Monticola’
- I am really getting rather bored with going round and round this pond
