saw this a few weeks ago
£40 for a mug and a T-shirt
they might be better just setting up a small merchandising operation!

£5000 Reward: We will store your yacht ashore for the winter - maximum length 30'/9.75m and weight 15 tonnes
not sure why anyone would do this!

Crowdfunding can be good or bad, all depends on what you get for your investment. This one looks a bit sad/desperate

I wonder if they are trading profitably?
Perhaps if they offered equity and brought in new shareholders, they'd have more success
Hope they get what they need to improve the site/business, its a great location with tons of potential

We kept Claymore there for 10 years and its a great place. That said - it's a 10 ft bargepole to this suggestion. :shake:
it is now way too late to save without a massive cash and skills injection. The backdrop for the whole industry is fairly grim at present and should it recover to something like former levels, that will take some time methinks.
