  1. There is always one. Thanks for that

  3. I'm about to start graining my back cabin. Any advice please on which undercoat and scumble to use and where to obtain it. Thanks
  4. Thanks Pete and thanks everyone.
  5. I have no stacks at the moment. I just wanted some input before I purchased any. My engine (Ailsa Craig RF1) is away being overhauled so no rush.
  6. I'm looking at the woodburning stoves from Windy Smithy for my boatmans cabin. They are welded steel instead of cast and, in my opinion, look good. Anyone had any experience of said stoves ?
  7. Thats nothing! I'm waiting for my engine to come back.
  8. It may seem like a newbie type question but here goes. Apart from the obvious clearance and smoke in the face issues, are there any pros/cons for tall or short (biscuit cutter) exhaust stacks. My particular exhaust is midway along my boat in the engine room.
  9. I noticed that your mooring was empty
  10. Its a beautiful day so Sue and I went for a walk along the Witham bank at Chapel Hill. We sat on a bench by the river in the sunshine for 45 minutes and did not see one boat pass by. I thought that boaters would be making the most of time before the surface is caked in weed. Whats making me frustrated is the fact that my boat isn't in the water yet. In the words of the great philosopher Gary Barlow "you need a little patience".
  11. Best of luck. If you have bid low you may get a good deal.
  12. Yeh me too. They must be working on the site

  14. Thanks for the offer. I would love to cruise there myself. The boat isnt anywhere near ready yet unfortunately. So we will see you there. It'll be nice to put faces to names.
  15. I'm up for it. Its great to see a pub opening rather than countless ones closing down. Keep us posted with the opening and we'll see you there

  24. Thanks Richard In 1938 the original Aero piston crown combustion chamber design was replaced by Ricardo whirlpool combustion chambers in the cylinder head, making the piston crown flat and increasing the efficiency with an 18.6:1 compression ratio. Hence the Ricardo designation.
  25. I recently aquired a boat with an Ailsa Craig RF1 (1944). It had been stood for a decade with the exhaust unprotected. Consequently water has found its way into the block. The engine is now being removed for a total refurb. Does anyone know who to contact for spares such as cylinder liners, head gaskets, pistons amd rings. I know how rare these engines are, but someone will have some parts somewhere. Thanks
