In its present condition I do hope it isnt part of our Navy, pretty much a shell, though to my untrained eye looks very good steelwork.

Came across something unusual to my eye yesterday,
From Jim Shead
CLEOPATRA Built by ROYAL NAVY - Length 18.9 metres (62 feet ) - Beam 1.98 metres (6 feet 6 inches )
What would a NB such as this be used for by the Royal Navy?

Excellent pictures, thanks for sharing.

Pleased that you have found the boat and thank you for coming back to let us know the outcome.

Very nice to see the technical aspects of restoration and methods used.
Thank you sir for sharing your craftsmanship.

I know a few ladies with beards!

Speculation on wave size aside, it is a sad story but nice to hear the community helping the couple.

I move on to my first narrowboat in March and my wife and I have started our provisioning list.
One of the items on the list is a well-stocked first aid box and while I was in Boots this morning I bought the usual waterproof plasters, antiseptic creams etc.
Are there an unusual items you experienced boaters have found to be essential in a waterways first aid box that I may not have thought of.
Jolly Roger
I find a female nurse in a uniform of my own design to be essential, I suggest others update their first aid kit as a matter of urgency.
I may put this idea forward as a compulsory to the BSC!

I suspect you on moored on the 'island' as opposed to the 'parlour' which is quiet shallow. Either way if you move to the slipway and start hauling your boat up then there may be a charge, might be worth having a word with alex in the office prior to doing this.
I don't want to speculate on best ways to work on prop area without being there, I will let you know when I am in the vicinity.

Thanks for the prompt replies Gentlemen.

In my quest for knowledge I am trying to ascertain the differences between the two.
My understanding so far is:
BSS = safety certificate. Required for boats being used on waterways.
Boat survey = Not a requirement but recommended if looking to purchase a boat.
Is a BSS normally carried out on the water whereas a survey will be carried out on a dry hull to report on hull condition?
Are there any/many other differences?
-
Sorry to hear of your misfortune but if you are moored where I think you are I will be out there next week helping a friend with his boat.
Don't mind get my hands dirty (I usually do).
PM me if I can help.
Nick.

Some tool hire companies will supply replacement chains for chainsaws.
Don't know if they will beat online prices though.

Serious now, welcome the the forum, there is a lot of knowledge on here, just need to sort the wheat from the chaff sometimes.
Haha, thanks for the welcome bottle.
I have been reading the CWDF forum for a while and picking up bits of info here and there. Much more to take in.
