    Rammey Marsh Cruising Club on the Lee is not much over the hour (by road) from Maidstone According to this, under budget too. https://www.rmcc.uk/mooring The facilities are pretty basic and, more fundamentally, there are no vacancies at present!

    Indeed. I am merely refusing Alan de E claim that the Suicide Act prevents legislation and regulation that obstructs a person from injuring themselves

    The system would be much the poorer without the Caldon, Ashton, Llangollen, K&A and others - all of which were tagged on by voluntary action and pressure. A very wise man you once knew said there were only three options - close it, sell it or grow it. Which one are you advocating?
  4. Tacet
    There's plenty of legislation aimed at protecting one from injuring oneself - the wearing of car seat belts, for example. Whether the BSS has or should have that aspiration is another question - but there is no unshakeable obstruction to the principle.

    CRT is going to be very busy making announcements - if it does so on everything it is not accepting responsibility for. And, just in case anyone considers I might be directly responsible for maintaining a restored canal - please take this as an announcement that I won't be.

    Cannot the slight bend be taken out?

    If it was that easy to obtain more income with no additional work or resources, it is surprising your son viewed the estate as overvalued and pulled away from the purchase. 'Punctuation' is not really your 'strong' point.
  8. Tacet
    So, your son says CRT should not have sold the marinas - which only leaves close or grow it according to the very wise man. Which one would you recommend?
  9. Tacet
    If it is practical to split the two parts - you might well do better in aggregate. Both the mooring and the flat sound nice in themselves, but the number of prospective buyers for the pair could be fewer.

    If that were the only thing to be checked - yes. But if the principle is that the marina owner is responsible for all foreseeable faults on its premises, it becomes much more onerous.
  11. Tacet
    It's dangerous - and, in that sense, a foreseeable hazard. But it doesn't necessarily follow that the marina owner should check for it. An owner is going to be very busy if it must inspect every boat and every shoreline in reasonable detail for any potentially dangerous faults.

    Your post indicated when the RCR (mistakenly called RCD) came into force - which is quite different from whether or not the RCR has retrospective effects.

    From where do you gain your understanding, please.

    I reckon it's because whenever a new feature is introduced, someone feels obliged to undertake risk and other assessments - and concludes there are numerous ways in which you could cause all sorts of damage. Which is the deepest narrow gauge lock on the UK system?

    I thought Beatrice had a motor around this time - and understood at least one extensive cruise.

    To avoid frivolous expenditure, my dad cruised for a decade using work-sourced, one gallon ammonia solution bottles to hold all fresh water. Dire warnings were printed on the side of said containers - but as he reassured us, the labelling was scaremongering as ammonia was merely caustic and not a poison.

    Tacet replied to Howdoo's topic in New to Boating?

    Didn't IanD have exactly the opposite problem - that is low gearing? It's easy to become confused when you don't properly understand such things😀

    That's why it's a good start and not a complete answer. An insurance company pulling a stunt like that would be taking a big risk. You might, in fact, have printed or saved a copy that you rediscover later.
  19. Tacet
    Your bank indicating a payment to an insurance company would be a good start should you lose all papers and digital records.

    Without part of the blade forward of the rudder stock, half the thrust from the propeller would not act upon it, which would reduce the turning effect. Not so with an unpowered butty of course.

    The words of the Act prevents the rule being something else. The Act could be changed, albeit not at the drop of a hat.
  22. Tacet
    The law is not set by what was put forward to a committee. Statutes are interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words. Only in exceptional circumstances, such as absurdity or self-contradiction, are other rules of interpretation introduced.

    Did you connect the heating exchanger in series or parallel with the skin tank? If in series, there is a prospect of restricting the flow of coolant to the engine. I connected mine to the calorifier circuit partly because the engine and heating circuits were in convenient proximity near the calorifier. And as the engine has twin thermostats, it can't be desperately over-cooled.
  24. Tacet
    Aren't you one of the large number?

    For how long have you always believed Tuel Lane to be the deepest? It's a young contender.
