Bones Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thank you everyone!!! 1347971678[/url]' post='941359']Don't forget the piccies Have a hole cut in the bow can't be any more traumatic as getting the dent in the first place ..... which boat will you bring home I am not sure....!!!! I MUST go and take pictures..... 1347973456[/url]' post='941373']YERE-HAH! Very good news, Miss B. But did the other so'n'so admit liability or are you going to get a sickening blow in your no claims bonus? I will only have confidence about the outcome once the bill is paid... 1347979567[/url]' post='941407']I can't help thinking that when you come to repainting the damaged 'Bones' label a tromp l'oeil version would be a suitable style... 1347981004[/url]' post='941415']Also glad to hear the good ship is on the mend - any chance you might do that journey up the River Wey next summer to show us all at this end how well it's been done? There might be new and exciting developments on the North End of the W & A to look at as well! Richard and Nessa i must do the Wey! It is on my list and next year is good as any....I owe my cousin a visit in Windsor too. 1347985272[/url]' post='941443']I am so pleased. I am wondering if you are keeping the work force entertained with s few choice tunes on your piano while they work I am not sure my piano playing is entertaining but I am pleased you put that in writing!

FadeToScarlet Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I am not sure my piano playing is entertaining but I am pleased you put that in writing! It made them work quicker You weren't tempted to glue a cannonball in the dent, so you could tell tall tales, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 well, I had intended to take photographs but it would appear they had done all the work before I managed to make it to have a look.

BTW: loving the sign-writing Regards Rob It is. I am impressed they replicated the sign writing. Doing the original involved a great deal of hilarity, alcohol, hanging upside down and painting backwards so I was pleased to see it replicated.

Rob@BSSOffice Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hi Rob,when you say gas-tight do you mean just at the bottom of the locker? Ian. Apart from the drain hole, the locker has to be gas-tight all the way up to the height of any high pressure equipment OR the top of the cylinder, which ever is higher. See check 7.2.1 in Chapter 7 http://www.boatsafetyscheme.org/boat-examination/private-boats Taking Bones as one example, if the seams had got damaged or cracked in the collision, then escaping gas from, say the cylinder joint, could find its way into the craft interior and start to build up.

wandering snail Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I sincerely wish you a swift conclusion to getting your boat (and home) fixed. I can only try and imagine how you must have felt after the incident and how you feel now going through the issues of getting the insurance company up to speed and of course the boat repairs quoted and completed. I wish you all the very best. We do too. We found this forum a true source of support when reeling after our 'incident'. Nearly 4 months on and back in our boat, we appreciate our lovely home even more than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
