Couldn't do that now, too many moored boats all shouting, "Slow down, it's not an effing race track".

One of the test runs for the Petter PD3 I believe.

Seems to be working quite well by the looks of it 😄

If you zoom in you can just make out the water skier.

Looks like Little Venice - no problems mooring along there then, apart from the hooligan!

It's never going to fit through those railings!

The speed he's going, he won't need to - he'll take them with him.

When did construction of the Petter PD 3 start

 

It was a 3 cylinder engine by Petter/McLaren

I may have the wrong boat, the testing was for John Knill if memory is correct. Not sure of the time line.

Maybe that is what it needs 

[magnetman]

Didn't the CRT recently change that bit to pre booked visitor moorings ?

Still residential opposite but I think the towing path side might have been cleared at least for a few moorings.

Originally Epsom, and now I think carrying that name again.

That's a lot of moorings to clear...

[magnetman]

Oops I got the wrong bridge !

 

 

I thought it was the bridge by the CRT orifice.

Must have reverted to Kenelm then. I looked at buying it when it was for sale as Epsom around 1990.

no, you are referring to the view West from Westbourne Terrace Road bridge. This photo is looking east from Warwick Avenue Bridge towards the tunnel, now lined both sides by permanent moorings.
