Recent photos of Michael's paddleboat have appeared in other threads, mainly at various celebrations.
Way back, somebody commented on the open paddleboxes.
Now Michael has started on fitting classic decorated covers.  There is a deadline: a 2.8 event to mark the centenary of PS Canberra.

This was taken on a cameraphone, and it may not be possible for Michael to resize to post for himself, so here it is indirectly.
The decorative covers fit with tradition, but have their own distinctive style.
