I watched it and found the last 10 mins had uploaded in 1978 standard mono - so re-uploaded it! In 1980's stylee Stereo! Glad to see you have been out on the foamy stuff recently!
Great work, always good content when someone cares for the boat. I noted from your video, the Arch over the cockpit is on hinges assuming this can be lowered to get under bridges when required. What is the boats overall Airdraft with this arch folded down ? Assuming the window screen is the highest point. Keep up the great work
Yes, thank you for commenting - it is indeed - it gets down to under 7ft which is respectable and certainly helped us on our Wells trip as none of the bridges were operating and Mutford lock was also u/s. It isn't so easy getting the canopies undone but certainly stops us getting tide locked in places that are 'the other side of a bridge.' As for caring for a boat - I do find undertaking things like antifouling and polishing important as I get to know every inch of the craft - I can score myself out of 10 for the scratches and knocks that I have made and growl when I find something that wasn't me that I have not been aware of!!
They most certainly do - as Zinc is what I would recommend for Salt, however, I am in purely fresh water and Magnesium is recommended which don't last 5 mins in salt! :) Sorry that wasn't clear! However, Zinc in freshwater is about as useful as a chocolate tea pot as those nice reactive props soon become the target!
Looks absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure!
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yay, this video is back!
I went to leave a comment yesterday and it vanished 😂
