Just don’t mention the war

If I recall correctly Orianne is currently residing at Roger Fullers yard at Stone but there again I may be wrong just imagining it Chris Bantock Mk 2

Not playing the scorecard walks away whistling

As a broker I can assure you that none of the above was me .. I certainly do not not treat any Possible client like that sti I have standards . Treat everyone as I would like to be treated we don’t always get it 100% right but a I do try

”As a broker” .... you do realise that despite you have spent £xx k on it in the last three years it’s only worth £5000,00 to A blind man with no sense of smell and no mates to advise them . , Actually said to a chap who said it was worth 45k .. 1970/ 1980’s Harborough cruiser stern Fiberglass top .. last year

Looking good JT

Tipton 1897 Bantock Mk2

look on the shank of the key just inside the sleeve there will be a set of numbers , Genereic key can be ordered on the web

Appliance warehouse at bunny notts have loads of appliances with lpg conversion jets

Mrs M , this will be sometime later this year as the fit out progresses . at this stage I just need to work out cabling

Tipton #1 is a Yarwoods built Guccco Motor Tipton #2 we have number 2 ... Madcat's is #1---- all cleared up .....mmmmm beer

Yes an easy mistake to make .. I just say ours "is the other one " lol

You are thinking of the "other" Tipton Dave This one has been in the owners care for 30 years

Going down the mains route now for sure , NO solar panel as a) I dont like clutter on my cabin top and b) I really do not need one Decent alternator / battery setup and all will be good for what we need However I will put a 12v computer fan in to aid with air flow .. top idea thank you

Got one already Victron imo is reliable enough , however I do have a spare sterling inverter that I can bung in a box onboard just in case .. your comments Nick echo what I feel

Planning the fit on Tipton and got to thinking of fridges ... I have always previously gone down the shoreline 12 v route and been happy ..but technology and kit changes along with our needs Tip will be built for boating and is not intended to be a long term Liveaboard so I was thinking that a off the shelf household fridge running off the victron inverter whilst not as power frugal as a shoreline is a dammed sight cheaper please convince me why or why not to go down this road ...I am open to all suggestions thanks C

Looking good as always Mark

Thanks

Having not been that way for a number of years where is the best and nearest overnight mooring for the northern end

Give paul redshaw a shout at Braunston

Slightly off topic but slightly relevant ... would a travel power kicking out 3kv be as efficient to feed a victron combi to support the 240 and charge the batts when boating than having a separate 12v alt for battery charging ???
