In the morning I'd ring the Avon Navigation Trust boat in the basin, the one that issues the licences and ask them.

How to get things seriously wrong on the Welland Canal!

Did you go to the Plymouth School of Maritime Studies? -
It would be even trickier if it was a V bottomed Springer!!

Well, come on, tell us, how did it go?????

For the stern line I just use a snap clip through the eye splice & onto the fender chain bracket, no chance of it slipping from there & I suspect if there was a danger of hanging up, the fender chain bracket would give way, never been there yet.

Much the same on the Gloucester-Sharpness. In the past the red Biffa bins have been in the open but they've just built a new lockable compound at Saul Junction & are doing away with the bins at Fretherne bridge which were always overflowing but where very few boats ever stopped. I don't suppose it will take long for the lock to disappear.

Thanks very much for that, I wasn't looking at it for me, I started the thread for anyone else who might be interested for the more historical boats.

How strange, never had that happen before. Presumably because I added it to my watch list I have received an offer from the seller to buy it for £85 instead of the £95 "Buy it now" price. The offer is valid for 48hours, does that mean no-one else can buy it in the meantime?

I was looking at the ANT site earlier, their Covid 19 update No3 dated 13th May. They seem to have got all the flood damage problems sorted & at the moment are operating in the same way as CRT, essential travel only, no overnight, need to book passage through some locks 24hrs in advance. https://www.avonnavigationtrust.org/covid-19-information/ -

Question about water damage on a potential first boat.

But then you've got to find somebody who can/will do the work if you are unable to. Walk away. -
In my experience they're very helpful.

When you get old & less bendy, a shower is much easier to get in & out of, don't ask me how we know.

Those had been discontinued by 2002 when I exchanged letters with Beta about fitting one on our new engine.

That screw is for assembly of a kitchen cabinet, through a side panel and into a chipboard shelf, nothing to do with the boiler.

Grandson & I put a canal on our N gauge railway. Langley models do some very nice white metal kits in n gauge including Kit A18 Waterways scene which has motor & butty, lock gates, bollards & paddles. I think you can also get them ready assembled & painted too. Scroll down the link to kit A18 http://www.langley-models.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Accessories_A1__A65__incl_canal_boats__59.html
