  1. It says it is 1/4 scale. I guess that it is much less than that. At 1/4 scale the model would need to be 18 feet long.

    As it says on the 2nd link "Its a 1/4 scale radio controlled model that is 18 feet long and weighs 1/3 tonne"

  2. Hell fire, I buy 2 25kg bags of excel every other saturday, and I normally have quite a lot left over. Thats with the boatman lit 24/7, backboiler with 1 rad, keeping the boat at about 16 deg through day and night, 22deg through the evening whilst I watch TV

  3. I own 2 cruisers, and have been cruising them together for just about a year now single handed. Towing on cross straps with the boats 1ft apart its ok going between the 2 boats even when underway, breasted together it's also not an issue, or pushing one with the other (just on tight ratchet straps stern-bow) its almost one boat, just annoying if the pushed boat is taller than the boat doing the pushing!

  4. Thanks folks, I will phone them tomorrow as I obviously should have had something by now. I haven't changed my email address but rather worryingly, when I tried to log in on the C & RT web site it said that that email address was blocked!

    I am sure it will all be sorted out.

     

    Thanks again,. Haggis

    Are you on restricted licence? They sometimes block accounts of people "under enforcement"

  5. Tony is correct, if you intend using lights then you should read the appropriate regs and buy /fit the correct lights or not bother at all. I did see NB sporting red lights on the starboard side and green on the port side, also seen one boat with blue stern light. Could have confused the hell out of other boasters

    One of my boats came with (and admittedly still has) a blue stern light for some reason, god knows why it's there!

  6. Seen it, it's been there a while with Rugby Boats, whilst that Kelvin is the bees knees I think it's way to big and heavy for 60ft,

    Also well deck on a Northwich Trader don't do it for us.

    We'd not be adverse to a mega refit on that shell but getting on for it's current £70,000 has more than taken all it's money. thanks anyway

     

    To be honest they're my exact thoughts about Ariel as well! 60 footers don't come up all that often though (neither do the 70s for that matter!).

  7. What is the difference between single and double lined, in terms of benefits?

     

    Single skin gets hotter externally (more risk of burning yourself/roof lining), twin wall keeps its heat better so allegedly draws better, and is a lot safer near flammable surfaces.

  8. MTB i wonder if you could do me a small favor, or anyone else who has the latest version of the boatman stove.

     

    I am looking to see if you can fit two casserole type dishes on the top, towards the front, either side if the flu, if so what size (Diameter) ?

     

     

    Thanks

    Depends on the size of the casserole dish! Mine (20cm ish diameter) overhangs the front of the hotplate, but that's partly down to using twin fall flue the whole length

  9. Sorry I cant put video on ,it exceeds the limit, but will persist it shows my dihatsu 4 track pulling boat home

    From burton waters,so a screen shot is best I can do at presant springer weighs 2750 kg

    Trailer 700 kg so only just legal,boat is 7.5 meters long

    If any car can do the job, its definitely a Fourtrak!!!
