Like buses! 6 months of trying to get are hands on a Celtic Longboat and then 2 come along together.

In March 2010 Swanage Rowing Club put their Celtic Longboat on the market and we made them an offer which was accepted. The road trip was on! Charlie very kindly offered to drive to Exeter to collect the boat and the club gives you a huge Thank you! Oli & Andy also made the trip down to Exeter to keep Charlie awake.
