Popular Post Thames Bhaji Posted May 5, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 This is us. The shell was built by Reeves in Napton in ‘06. They worked to our own design and did a nice job. She’s a bit unusual - twin prop electric propulsion, mainly because I like playing with that kind of thing. Andy 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Nice boat, there is a lot of interest in electric boats on here, some pictures of the installation would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug B Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 So we sold the last boat and readied to come across and explore canals with you good folks. Covid screwed that plan, so we bought another one over here. Maybe someday we’ll get the narrowboat . . .

That’s the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower returning from sea. I would’ve told him to get the hell out of my way but there were patrol boats zooming around with mounted machine guns. I got as close as I could though, because I figured all those people on the flight deck were lined up to get photos of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Harold Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 It's only small I know,but it's easily handled solo,economical (0.6ltr/hr at canal speeds) cheap to maintain and moor,and it looks a bit like a proper boat. 😜 Tin hat time? o9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hope they saluted you at least ... You get plenty of sniping on the canals but very few machine gun or cannon armed patrol boats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuthound Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Not a photo but a drawing of my boat by one of my granddaughter's. Given some of the detail, I think she might be a budding canal artist in the style of the late Alan Firth. There again some portholes and much of the boats lengthseem to have been edited out... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
