    Some boats it very difficult to drain the calorifer by the way they are configured with an internal none return valbe

    Well I guess that's another new member well pissed off because some didn't like their first posting. I am surprised anyone joins if they lurk a bit first and see how new members get treated

    The only thing I can say to that is that the committees are made from people who are prepared to stand, if younger people dont stand then things dont change, If you just dump the old guard there is no one there. Our branch closed down because we were all old buggers and stood down. One good thing that appears to have happened is that when they appoint trustees they are now looking for some expertise. I was hoping things would have changed more with the latest chairman.

    Many years ago I went to a Stow Hill open day and there was a boat there with a similar back end, you sort if climbed onto a platform and then shimmied to the rear hatch with about 3ft 6 in head room
