  1. I looked twice before grabbing the camera
  2. I saw this interesting extension today
  3. There is just behind the lock by the bridge
  4. They did at All Oaks Wood so maybe they have had a change of heart
  5. If its from the M&B it may well have chines, lots on there do so that they can get somewhere near the side, after having a holiday on there its understandable why they are well worn, that canal is so shallow and saucer shaped that any movement from the line you are scraping along. As for resale value I would guess you would have a job shifting an 8 foot wide boa, its nether fish or fowl.
  6. My boat had two nicks in the ware band at the stern where the rudder hit it on full travel, Streethay who were doing the blacking that time just welded two small bits on to reenforce where it meets, they just did it without me asking when the saw it before blacking
  7. But the Trabants keep going when the Jags die 😀
  8. Should see you again soon
  9. I was thinking that as I chugged along the Ashby when meeting boats while passing moored ones, so I was probably 25% out on my guess. A 100³m made the maths easier Edit to add I also forgot the marinas down the Ashby Nor the one I passed, did we meet somewhere, now at Market Bosworth going North
  10. Some caravan places may have stock. If you know the make model have a ring around
  11. A personal loan is your best bet and as that is an unsecured loan not against the boat they dont care .
  12. That was a fag packet calculation estimating the width of the canal as 6M, in places its 8 so the area is probably greater.
  13. The surface of the canal is approximately 62000m X 6m =372000 If one lock uses 100³ then 100 lock full's = 10000³ so I think that would drop it by 0.025 of a meter
