matty40s Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Where's the bit in the BSS site about ventilation calculations? Richard You don't seem to like us MR RPLW, we have to the front and behind doors special grills fit. These are coated with chrome which helps the air ventilation move faster. We also have white double thickness windows which can open when more oxygen is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLWP Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well......seeing as I have to drive through Tysely on my way home from work...........Reg number on the front is 41573 41573 isn't in the Canalplanner boat list, presumably because the boat is too new?

TheBiscuits Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Not many solar panels, and it seems to be bow heavy There are only 9 panels shown so no one can copy the engineering design. All the rest are in the front of the boat so no one can see them, and are affecting the trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not old ones ... Mintball's is only 5 digits I though that it was the case that reg numbers used to be 5 digits, but switched to 6 digits some time ago. If that is true how can a new boat have a 5 digit number? Was it a trade plate number perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Fox Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I might be wrong but I thought all boat reg numbers were 6 digits? Ours is 5 digits. Well done for taking the trouble to put us out of our misery. What are the white window-looking things on the roof, in the middle? At the back is the Polish flag, did you notice? All in all quite bizarre. Perhaps someone will buy this and make a go of it? Otherwise... what will happen to it? Does anyone know if it has a BSS certificate? Who examined it, and can you tell us if it's all up to spec? I would not swop our little 40-footer for this luxury cruiser, though.

RLWP Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The window looking things are brass ventilators Richard I though that it was the case that reg numbers used to be 5 digits, but switched to 6 digits some time ago.

I believe trade plates are red and white, so that should be easy to confirm Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the white window-looking things on the roof, in the middle? you mean on the side of the raised section? I think they're air vents. For an solar powered boat there seems to be a distinct lack of heavy duty cable connectors (or any cables for that matter). Those solar panels look like they're a few mill thick and glued to the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenA Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yes, they are those flexible ones that fit to the roof. Presumably wired up from below: Richard Seems the max output of those is 70 Watts per panel. So that's 630 Watts from 9 panels if its those. Not a bad amount of power but enough to drive their stated electrical load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
