I suggest you write to them with a reasoned argument and look forward to their swift response by return of mail.

When they grow up they can have one of these...

Once on the Thames, I always throw big pneumatic balloons down the sides, just to make the plastics calm down( never happy having to share with a proper boat.. ).

You started it.....🤪😎

Both Daventry Country Park and the other Daventry one have strict minimum levels in the high 80% area, 1st one as a nature reserve, the 2nd due to fishing clubs and sailing club use.

That's it, half a ton of 2 different nuggets delivered tonight by our very reliable Ryan on Southern Cross. He has been fully loaded 3 times in the last 3 weeks, and had to be helped off his mooring today with a JCB due to low water levels. From somewhere else...

Just breathe in a bit whilst going down it...

I've never found one of these in any bar I've been to...

I have a suitable block of wood, (never had to use it in anger), which blocks the elephants trunk inlet, therefore denying the engine air.

It is not unique.

They dont subsidise my boating, they pay for a service, be it extraction or drainage. I also pay for a service, to float my boat on water, which for the last 5 weeks, it hasnt.

Prop blade preparation pre launch.
matty40s replied to Gybe Ho's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
Pour some Domestos down the weed hatch straight afterward, that's the other known 1% gone too. (NOTE..(for GybeHo), do not attempt to do this whilst moving.) -
It's gone down to zero credit, hence the lines. ????

One or more of your batteries is on the way out and your charger is trying to keep up.

I would normally stick a plastic bag over a boat prop going back into the water. Not only will this keep it clean, it will also allow you to practice your weed hatch moves for when you finally cruise your boat to its brokerage for sale. -
Do you just have a side hatch, or a side hatch with a lid top?? Reason for asking is that I have the 2nd version, and made a slot in rain porch to fit under the top lid, secured by the top lid handle. It keeps all but sideways rain out of the boat and allows us to keep the hatch open all night with the fly screens deployed.

Just remember the very low bridges on the Stort, not just Kecksys.....although the low water levels at present may help. It's a lovely river...far nice than the Lee navigation, although above Stanstead Abbots, it ain't bad

Toplac Plus paint on original formulation Toplac
matty40s replied to TandC's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
Toplac Plus will go over any of your old paint so long as its prepared properly. It's a very good paint for outdoor painting, doesnt seem to leave as bad a orange peel finish if only rollering on. If laid off, leaves a lovely finish. -
This one looks quite good...
-
Well, it's been opened today....probably why we have been sat on the bottom all weekend!! Plenty of water down the (shallow) bottom, but the midsection a bit hit and miss.
