With all the fuss over the T stud , I still find it offensive that he has welded using metric rods instead of the authentic in keeping imperial ones

Pete will be at Alvecote this year and has a cabin on CYPRUS anytime he wants it , fully aware of all of the ongoing works
No it not Petes Colonel but now Dave n Tracy’s and in Petes words gone to safe hands

Of course it will, any little helps. He has a very large following who may well never have heard of The Wendover Arm let alone thought to support it.Im not sure if you’ve watched any of his material but though not 100% accurate it’s pretty good and he really doesn’t come across as self important
Personally I find him as dull as ditch water but lots of people watch him so he has a following

Do we know what him being a Patron actually means in practice?
Boating with fenders down is acceptable practice

I made a decision not to involve myself with further discussion

I stopped there on purpose ..the “ gentleman “ asked if I had a problem reading his sign
I replied no I can read it but it has no lawful basis so I choose to ignore it
after a cup of tea I moved on

We are thinking about next year updating and modifying the heating system on the boat
Currently we have a sf stove with two rads on a thermal convection system
Long term we would like a standalone stove in the lounge area and fit a planar 5kw wet heater ( which we already have in stock )
I have no problems with the fitting of any pipe work, calorifier etc on the LH side of the boat as per the ( amateur) drawing
But
I would also like to run a either 22 or 15 mm copper pipe loop on the opposite side of the boat to keep a background heat in wardrobe , cupboards and under the bed to eliminate cold spots / condensation
Can I just T this of off the main run or do I need to fit a valve / reducer
Many thanks
Chris( very much in planning as we’re warm this winter lol )

No ! Neil was a previous owner who was involved in the conversion to what it is now

Just found this thread, so my comment may not now be totally relevant.
Yes, it was Neil who put the JP in. As I recall, it came from a fishing boat on the south coast. I suspect it had been sunk for some time as the engine surfaces were quite pitted. ( and probably still are)
Just heard today the Neil Todd who owned Greenlaw ( and other boats) passed away today
