Tony Kaye on keyboards was a jazz musician then along came Rick Wakeman on fragile who was more into........ well other stuff

Oh the early 70s were close to the edge of prog and indy rock self indulgence and self destruction. Concept albums, often doubles, all over the place. I liked thick as a brick but the follow up passion play was really dull. Thankfully punk was just around the corner........................

I wasn't getting aggressive as usual I just misinterpreted your post. All I wanted to know was what length chimney to get. As usual people misinterpret humour for aggression. Let's call it quits.

I was brought up on a farm. I was picking potatoes, and worse, peas by hand all day when I was 12. So I'm not really impressed with "You were lucky... We ad it really tuff...." stories.... Sorry!

I had a duffel when I was about ten I think. I wore army and navy surplus as a teenager in the 70s. Then along came companies like rohan and berghaus. The advantage they gave was the clothes were waterproof and warm. Not a fan of goretex but I like the alternatives. Never done a 16 hour day on a boat only a couple around 12 hours which was bad enough. As for practices from days past being better than present day, I won't open that can of worms........ Yep one of those will do.....

You presume wrong........

Where can you find Eddie Hambridge?

Duffel coat and trilby, who do you think I am? Paddington bear Nice.....

No!

Can you still use it as a hand warmer ?

Not tried it yet but have wished I had on more than one occasion!

Sounds like a long single skin is the way to go. Thanks!

Do you cruise with the fire going. Does it matter having a shorter chimney with smoke and the steerer?

What are the pros and cons for the length of a chimney on the stove in the boatmans cabin. I have a 28 inch one which works well on the stove in the saloon. I was thinking of buying a second one for the stove at the back. This would be used when we have visitors using the bed in the boatmans cabin and when cruising. Most boats seem to use long chimneys. What about the short ones (12") are they OK?

Thanks for your help with this.
