Personally I find him as dull as ditch water but lots of people watch him so he has a following

Boating with fenders down is acceptable practice . … . … . btw this was tongue in cheek and not aimed at any demiograpic

Thanks Jim chris

Historic boat TAW for sale on the duck

I made a decision not to involve myself with further discussion as he obviously was struggling with the fact I dared to stop

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 a lovely chap

Just heard today the Neil Todd who owned Greenlaw ( and other boats) passed away today

Correct “green” for National…..so many tones to choose from winter project tidying engine ‘ole

If and I do say if I recall correctly Neil had the JP2 put in

If you would like to text me your contact details I will message Richard with them for you 07770893453

I have a contact number for Richard …and can pass on a message

Too many conditions on sale tbh i can understand preservation but feel this craft needs a bit extra

Fortunately more like

We thought about it prior to CYPRUS and immediately agreed it’s not the right boat for us it’s not really a cabin boat as the conversion. Kn my opinion. Is shyte and it is not financially viable to change or reconvert to working trim

Thank you

As we’re setting off for Brinklow soon ( the long way round) I really do need to attend to CYPRUS’s gearbox as it doesn’t seem to hold back with any efficiency now I do know that David put a really good crowther prop on so I presume it’s down to gearbox adjustment I have been told by a couple of reliable sources it’s just a matter of taking the control rod off the box and adjusting it forwards or backwards a quarter of a turn to see how it is has anyone actually done this or am I walking into a minefield Happy to get hands dirty BUT have never touched one of these boxes……all advice/ info gratefully appreciated Chris
