Broad Ambition R641 - Restoration


Recommended Posts

Well I had a proper scran earlier this evening!

 

And a few more - She was painted deck to deckhead, bulkhead to bulkhead throughout inside and out. Not a drop of  'Proper' marine paint to be seen, all household stuff from DIY stores and the like that looked like it had been applied with a yard brush,  Nor was there any woodgrain or varnish on view either.  The fw pump didn't work, only 1 x cooker ring worked, only the rev counter on the helm worked, however both thunderboxes were in operation with even the bowls hammerited.  The port cabin had been butchered into a bar with the bunk, door and part of the bulkhead removed.  Last photo is 'B.A' in the same spot a 'few' years down the river !

He needed your hapless apprentice for the thunder boxes, Alex! :D

Yes, Pauline if that young man and his mate ever find out that the "seacocks" he was cleaning out were actually parts of a vintage boat kludgie ! .... well people are killed for less lol

Never mind the workhouse mentality is alive and well here!☺

January 2002

 

Both the full syndicate and lots of friends were yet again positively active this time in shed searching.  We had been searching far and wide for a venue with the net getting too wide for comfort, we needed a ‘Boat Shed’ within easy travelling time.  Then some good news from ‘Blaxton’ We had some news of a large building where only half the shed was in use by a commercial holding company and they would maybe consider renting us the other half, it had taken some finding but we were optimistic, I personally knew the manager and he was keen to help us out once he understood what we wanted it for.

 

It was about this time that John Williams had proper stern words or advice one can’t buy. It was directed at the syndicate of course, most probably me.  He told us that he had seen countless dreams similar to ours that never saw a completion, boats part restored sold off cheap or onto a bonfire.  He was of course very aware that this dream was not a pipe dream, he himself had viewed a flotilla of craft on our behalf.  He made us very aware in no uncertain terms that R641 would take a lot of work and a lot of money, depending on how far we were prepared to go with her and how much effort we intended to put in. But he finished off with something along the lines of ‘If I can’t dissuade you, then R641 is in my opinion the boat you have been looking for, it is possible she can be saved and I will be available for any advice and help you may want’

 

So that was that, we departed his company (Until the next time) feeling somewhat reigned in but he had given us a Starboard light, now it was up to us.

 

Diary entry 31st Jan 02:-

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

Thurs 31st Jan 02

 

Nightmare!! Got word today that due to the state of the shed roof.

The owners have decided to condemn the building, thereby fore-closing on our deal/arrangement.

 

Project Manager/Secretary have notified everybody and got the move postponed.

 

I have already started looking AGAIN, went on to former RAF Finningley estate, on 1/2/02.

They have a building available for rent, but sadly not big enough.

 

Gentlemen, we have 8 weeks max to get the boat up here and installed somewhere.  Our berthing Fees are paid until 1/4/02. Woods Dyke Boatyard rang me today advising me that our berth is already earmarked for another boat as soon as we vacate our mooring.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

Things were starting to get somewhat concerning here.  The manager of said holding company did his level best for us but it was not to be, there insurance company had condemned ‘our’ half of the shed and would not insure the fabric or contents.  So yet again the search was on, we produced ‘Wanted’ posters and started putting them up in local shops / businesses, Derrick had one up in his shop outlet, I had them in my van.

By now it was becoming obvious that we were not going to have a shed of any description ready by the first of April, a deal was struck with Woods Dyke to pay Ivy Lady’s mooring fees on a month by month basis.  The first of April came and went and still no venue.  Another large storage shed was looked at but the monthly cost was prohibitive and access was only allowed during working hours so that was a non starter.

Then out of the blue and from left field a ‘Eureka’ moment.  A disused engine railway shed, again in Blaxton was brought to our attention.  The contact came through via Derrick and a customer of his that ran a garage told him of a large disused shed belonging to his own landlord at the back of his place. 

Contact was made with the landlord/shed owner.  The shed had not been used for years and was in a bit of a sorry mess but for a peppercorn rent he was willing for us to have it at our own risk etc.  We were in!  It was now nearing the end of April.  It was around this time that the ‘Associate Members’ was formed proper.  We would end up with over twenty associate members.  Basically they were close friends of the full syndicate members that stepped up to the plate to assist in every and any way they could.  They put no finances into the project or had any ownership rights but, boy were they keen to help.  A time sheet log was started for the associate members to log their hours spent on the project.  In the very early days all the hours were logged in getting the shed ready to accept R641.  A similar log was running for the syndicate members

 

Diary entries:-

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sun 28th April 02

 

Griff received his full set of Keys to the Engine shed from Derrick on Sat 27th April. Shed is now officially in Syndicates name, lease signed and 1 month’s rent paid in advance. Griff has rang B/Yard ref Lift and also the transport people ref moving, should have a date set by the end of this week.

 

Spent 4 hours clearing out Guy’s garage and transporting many donated items to Engine Shed with Guy. Log now started on Hours spent on project (not on sorting out the move).  May 04/05th  should see many Members and Assoc. Members at the Engine Shed on a major clearout and getting shed ready to accept ‘Broad Ambition’.

 

 

Sat/Sun  04/05th May 02

 

 

Commenced clear out of Boat Shed proper. A ‘Clean Ship’ was undertaken over the weekend

by Derrick, Griff, Steve & Harold. We now have all but two of the original lights working, and all 240v power socket are functioning. The water supply is on and working with no leaks, the Heads are functioning with even the hot water font working!

 

The Rubbish and clutter has been cleared out, of the Strong room, Heads and Storeroom then jet-washed. The workshop has been cleaned out and the walls jet-washed. Painting of the walls in the Strong room, Heads and Storeroom is complete as are the floors. The workshop main hall - wall painting has been started.

 

The workshop floor is proving to be somewhat of a problem and will require the use of a steam cleaner, followed by jet-wash followed by brushing out before it can be painted, This is pencilled in for 10/11th May.

 

Outside the Shed, the many lengths of super-size RSJ’s have been moved Bushes cut, Fence rolled away and the 4 x steel posts cut off at ground level.

 

 

Tues 07th May 02

 

Griff met Colin (Our man from ‘Cementation) at Boat Shed for an hour. This was for preparations, measuring up and prepping for arrival of R641.  Colin has now got all information he requires to complete the construction of trolley that will take our Boat and move her into the shed.

 

I have asked him to manufacture 4 x eye bolt plates to bolt on top of left hand door to enable the crane to pick it up off its hinges.

 

He advised that the lift off the trailer onto the trolley should take place on the following weekend after her arrival at the Shed. Getting hold of a crane will be the key to this, as Colin is trying to secure a crane to do the lift without having to book it outright just for our job, this route will incur major expense, if however we can get the use of one when the crane has been to another job then we are onto a saver.

 

 

Wed 15th May 02

 

We are progressing, having spent time during Saturday/Sunday, & Monday/Tuesday evening.

I now feel confident the shed will be ready to receive R641 on the 25th May.

 

Cleaning of the boat shed floor was somewhat of a time consuming affair.  After shifting rubbish and all sorts of items we swept it out, then got set to with a jet wash. It was hours later as I was nearing completion of jet washing the floor, with others brushing the dirty water out of the shed end doors that I left the jet wash nozzle in one place close to the deck – it started breaking up and coming away!  This was strange, concrete shouldn’t do that?  We stopped and had a proper look-see.  Disaster – It turned out we hadn’t been cleaning the concrete floor at all, what we had been doing was cleaning off the top layer of decades of compacted coal dust / grease from a bygone era of steam locomotion when the engines were serviced and repaired. Underneath the floor (Muck) was hard sound concrete!  AAARRRGGGHHHHH.   What a waste of a day, the little jetwash machine would take weeks to clean this lot of down to the concrete, a re-think was needed.  One of the Assc. Members said his Dad had a very old large diesel powered steam cleaner we could have for free as it wasn’t working.

 

Well it is now! After a few hours spent on it and purchasing some new parts. The thing was huge!  Had to be towed on a trailer to the shed and took four of us to manhandle the thing onto its own wheels.  By the following weekend we were in business once more

 

It took Derrick and me all day Saturday to steam clean the deck, in places the solidified Oil/Grime was an Inch thick. We had to use shovels to get the slurry outside then followed up with the jet wash and brushes.   Steve (BreamSlayer) then advised us that it still wasn't clean or smooth enough to take paint, so a decision was made to apply self-levelling compound. We started this Monday evening. 4 x bags (100kg) nearly did half of it, Tuesday evening saw another 6 bags (150kg)  The main floor area needs 2 x coats of floor paint, this we will start Saturday (18th) evening. This Thursday evening will see the ‘Boot line’ applied.

 

The strong room is completed, the door is now secure, just need Padlock/Keys which Derrick has in hand. Another outstanding job is to empty the storeroom into the strong room so we can get in there and get that painted out. Toilet floor needs 2nd painting, as does the woodwork in the office.

 

The dirt road leading up to our gate is very uneven with some potholes over a foot deep. As ‘R641’ is coming by low loader this will cause us a problem if it is not attended to, a mate of Griff’s is currently pricing up 16tons of Crushed Concrete to be delivered, we will then have to handball it into the holes and use a compacter to get it sorted.

 

Outside the shed at the far end still needs attention, it needs scraping off, sweeping and the debris clearing away.

 

The log of hours done is now running, important if you are an associate member, but don't get too concerned just yet, there is a hell of a long way to go.

 

My main concern now is manpower at Horning on the Friday/Saturday 24/25th May.   As of now only I am confirmed to be there and we need at least one person to sit in the lorry back up to Donny, I can't do that and drive my van! Russ is trying to organise himself to be available for this, if he can make it that will be two of us down there.  Derrick will be at the Shed with Harold (Dad) awaiting our arrival.  Where are the rest of you?

 

 

Sun 19th May 02

 

Derrick finished final preps of the floor prior to painting, then got well stuck in glossing woodwork and steel where required.

 

The floor has now had its first coat of floor paint, it looks great for it too!  Steve (W) and I will get down there one night this week to apply final coat of paint to deck.

 

The storeroom has now been emptied into the strong room so we can get in there and get that painted out. Toilet floor needs 2nd painting.

 

16tons of Crushed Concrete has been delivered, followed by a JCB. Howard and I then compacted it down and filled in some more holes.

 

Outside the shed at the far end still needs attention, it needs scraping off, sweeping and the debris clearing away, about ½ of this has now been attended to.

 

Russ has now confirmed to go down with Griff to Horning on Thursday night 23rd.  He will accompany the lorry/driver back up to the shed.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

So the end of May was approaching.  The ‘Boat Shed’ as it had become known was ‘Ours’ and just about completed ready to receive our project boat, which was also ours of course.  Expenditure to date had concentrated on getting the ‘Boat Shed’ in some sort of proper order.  We had lists and lists form security / lighting/ water electrics etc etc.  Derrick turned up one day with the biggest van I have ever seen with an even bigger very heavy workbench hanging out the back and it was in two halves! It was perfect, once we had it installed using muscle, planks and trolley jacks.  Tools started to arrive, bench circular saw, planning thicknesser, bandsaw, large propane space heater and I do mean large, it sounded like a Vulcan on start up, the blasted thing could empty a full large propane bottle in a couple of sittings if left to run on full chat. Numerous hand tools it was another endless list.

 

Whilst driving to / from a particular ‘GriffTile’ job I kept seeing a property that was a proper Steptoe’s yard and a hulk of a boat that kept catching my eye – nowt for it I would go and introduce mysen.  There was an elderly gentleman living alone in a huge house with a bigger scrapyard of a ‘Garden’ he was not living very well either.  I got to know him over a few visits, he was obviously lonely and grateful of the company, but his life’s tale was fascinating and I was kinda hooked. I told him about my dream and our project over many visits and cups of tea (In mugs that would have seen off a dockyard moggy)

In one particular visit he said he had something I might be interested in and took me to one of his many large sheds. Getting the door unlocked and open was a struggle as he had not been in there in years, and he was too frail to manage it himself.  Inside (One could just about get inside) was a true Aladdin’s cave from yesteryear.  My old new found friend was somewhat of a horder to put it mildy, a vintage car / bike enthusiast would have gladly given his right arm to have free reign in this particular shed.  But that was not what he wanted to show me.

 

‘There you are Lad, reckon you can make use of that lot’? he said pointing to a very neatly stacked huge stock, from floor to ceiling and about half length of the shed, there must literally have been at least a ton of the stuff if not more in varying lengths of . . . . . . . Hardwood    -   all types too, teak, mahogany, Iroko, ash it was breathtaking. All planed, no nails or screw holes, no paint or varnish (All this became evident after it been brushed off from about 30 years of dust)

 

It’s yours if you want it and can get it shifted, I reckon it would come in handy for your dream.

 

I was speechless and there was no way he was just going to gift this lot to me, I would have been taking advantage of a lonely old man.  He eventually explained that he bought the job lot at an auction in the early 70’s as he thought it was a bargain. It had lain here ever since.  Now we had an impasse, he wanted to give it to me and I wanted to pay him for it – I won! He said it was too much, I knew it was too cheap.

 

It took me and Howard two trips in my ‘GriffTile’ van complete with roof rack to shift it all back to the boat shed.

 

Man hours log for work on the shed now stood at around 30 for the associates and 124 for the syndicate

 

Thurs 24th May – R641 is booked out and due to depart Horning for Donny.

 

But best laid plans of mice and men  . . . . . . . . . . .

Blimey! Talk about attention to detail! I feel tired just thinking about how much hard work you guys put in.

They are proper grafters Polly, that is for sure! Not frightened to get their hands dirty.

 

cheers Iain.

It was now approaching the end of May 2002,

 

Diary entry:-

 

----------------------------------------

 

 

Sun 26th May 02

 

Howard on Sunday 19th (His birthday) went up to Selby way and visited a ‘Boat Jumble’.  Didn’t buy owt as this was a bit of a ‘reccee’ to see what these venues have to offer etc. Came away with dates and venues of further Boat Jumbles around the country. Apparently the Jumbles have lots of goods both new and 2nd hand that we will be chasing in the future.

 

Down at the shed on Wednesday 22nd myself and Steve (W) painted the floor with the 2nd and final coat of paint and also got the floor in the toilets done as well.

 

Saturday 25th Griff and Dale spent more time at the Shed, the concrete apron is now finished, the overhanging tree/bush at gate one is now trimmed, gate one can now open fully, the potholes between gates one and two have had some more in-filling, a ton of timber is now stacked neatly in the shed. 12 railway sleepers have now been delivered. (See separate list of outstanding jobs for the Shed)

 

Thursday evening 24th saw Russ and myself arriving at Woods Dyke boatyard in Horning at around midnight. Friday after breakfast in Wroxham we got stuck in, I sorted out the slow running problem on the engine, she is now pulling nearly 2000rpm in gear, which is close to potential maximum. The bilges had only a few inches of water in which we dried out, the domestic electrics were connected, as was the gas.  Toilets x 2 were pumped out, rinsed out and pumped out again.

 

Then came the lift. The lorry and trailer arrived about 1500, slings were positioned and R641 was lifted clear of the water, no problems there. The underneath is alive with marine growth and will need a substantial jet washing off.  It then became apparent that the trailer that had been sent down was woefully inappropriate for the transportation of our Boat. It was too short, the end of the trailer sloped downwards, and a good proportion of the trailer bed was steel prohibiting securing any chocks/legs to the trailer bed. The result would have been a very un-secured load, which would have been overhanging the trailer by 5 feet, and we would only have had a ten-foot section of the hull with any supports under it. The haulage driver and Woods Dyke engineer came to the decision that it was unsuitable and far too dangerous.

So back in the water she went and berthed up yet again, the lorry set off empty, back to from whence it came.

 

The result of all this? Well I lost a day’s work (As did Russ) and £40 in diesel for my van, but more importantly I have learnt that where transporting of boats is concerned, short cutting and cost cutting doesn’t pay off.

 

R641 is still not where we want her, we are still paying for moorings at £20 per week and the damn shed is ready to accept her!

 

On the up side, she is now ready at anytime to be lifted and transported.

 

I have been on the phone and sorted out professional specialised transport for her to be brought up on Thursday the 6th. See separate letter for more details on this.

 

 

 

The failed attempt at Horning on 24/25th May 2002.  Way ahead on 6th June with R641

 

 

 

What went wrong?              -               Basically the trailer was totally unsuitable to move a boat of the size/weight of R641.  The trailer even after extending it to its full length would have resulted in about 5 feet of the boat overhanging the back

of the trailer, not a problem in itself. But the last 5 feet of the trailer had a downwards slope on it which would have resulted in 10 feet of the boat not being supported.  Added to this was where the trailer had been extended there was a 15 foot gap that supports could not have been inserted, a further 10 feet of the trailer was metal sheeted leaving only about 5 feet of space where we could have inserted and secured supports. Also the trailer has very stiff suspension as it is designed to move heavy plant equipment (Bulldozers/Cranes etc) and would not have been kind to our boat and would have opened up joints all over the place.  Having listened to the experts namely the driver and Woods Dyke engineer, the whole operation would have been inherently dangerous and not worth the risk.

 

The Down-Side                    -               Well personally I was ‘somewhat disappointed’ to say the least, I had used 2/3rd of a tank of diesel in my van, taken a day off work (As did Russ - not good when we are self-employed). Paid for a lift out of the water, and we ended up with R641 back alongside on her mooring still down in Horning. We will now have to pay £60 for yet another lift, + £30:00 for the bottom to be jet-washed off as there is now no ‘time window’ for us to do it outside our shed.

We are still having to pay Woods Dyke £20 per week for the privilege and she is in their way, when the shed up here in Blaxton is now ready to receive her. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (If I only knew a rude word, now would be the time to use one!)

The Up-Side                          -               I got the slow running on the engine sorted, the toilets have been pumped out, rinsed and pumped out again. Gear onboard has been secured ready for transportation. Had a word with Colin and now know the way ahead for purchase and installation of a new central heating system, and also possibly a 240V generator. Had a nice lunchtime in the Ferry Boat Inn on Friday.

 

The Way Ahead                  -               Woods Dyke yard recommended three specialised boat haulage companies.  I have engaged the services of ‘Farndon Marina’ in Newark, Mark and Jane Ainsworth, Tel 01636 705483. They are booked to collect

R641’ on Thursday morning 6th June, and Deliver her to our shed before 1800 on the same day.  Steve at Woods Dyke will oversee the operation at his end, basically move R641’ to the slings, lift her out, jet wash her off and onto the trailer.

 

Cranage – A mobile crane of the size we require costs in the region of £300 per half day. I have used contacts and secured a mobile 30-ton crane from Central Bottling at Harworth to be at the shed in Blaxton on Thurs 6th June, cost to us will be £120.  (We cannot have the Boat sat on the haulage companies trailer, as they need it for another job on the next day).

 

Gary from the local farm with his 4wd 4ws JCB is booked to push trolley/boat into the shed. 

 

That just leaves Colin to get the trolley, spreader bars for the lift and eye brackets for the door, to the shed before the 6th. He assured me they will be fabricated and at the Shed by Wednesday 5th latest.  Then we ‘ARE/SHOULD’ be sorted. 

Now then I don’t want to have to take another full day off work, so we need to pull together and get as many of us as we can down to the boat shed at Blaxton on Thursday the 6th. That includes Associate and full Syndicate members, so if you finish work and can get there before/around 1800 please do so, we should only be there for a couple of hours of so.  Hopefully one/two of you will be there somewhat before 1800 to take out the bricks next to the door that is to be lifted off.

 

Sequence of Events for the 6th       

 

A.M – ‘Broad Ambition’ moved, Lifted, Jet washed, onto trailer, Depart Horning for Blaxton

 

Mid afternoon – Derrick/Steve/Dave ??? arrive to remove brickwork, fasten on eye brackets for Door lifting, prepare trolley and spreader bars.

 

1700 on – Griff and rest of available help arrive

 

1730 – Gary with JCB arrive

 

1700 – 1800 ‘Broad Ambition’ and Mobile Crane arrive.  As soon as the crane is there, door to be lifted off.

 

O/C  - Boat lifted off trailer onto trolley (O/C – Lorry and trailer depart)

 

O/C – Trolley with boat pushed into shed

 

O/C – Crane to re-hang door (Departs after door is back on)

 

O/C -  Brick up at side of door (Well the outside skin at least)

 

O/C - Go to Station Pub, breath a huge sigh of relief/congratulate ourselves!

 

 

Sounds easy doesn’t it? Lets see if we can get it right this time!!!

 

 

Yours GRIFF – Project Manager

 

 

------------------------------------------------

 

We had realised early on that the opening in our shed would not be wide enough for R641 so we would have to remove one door and some of the bricks, the padstone that took the hinge would be left in situ as we had designed the trolley just wide enough to slip inside.

June 2002

 

Ok, gird ones loins and have another go at getting R641 up to our boat shed  Diary;-

 

 

 

 

Fri 7th June 02

 

The day arrived at last for the expected arrival of our project. She was due on the Thursday 6th but due to Woods Dyke holding a boat auction and our transport Driver running out of Hours on his tacho-graph it was put back by 24 Hrs with Griff only receiving notification of this on the Wednesday 5th evening. A frantic evening was spent ringing round everyone booked for the Thursday to postpone them by 24 Hrs including the 30 ton mobile crane and the push-pull 4WD/4WS machine. We were nearly de-railed before we had started!

 

 The Wednesday 5th also saw the arrival of the newly made trolley that R641 would sit on and also spreader bars for the lift off the trailer and the eye brackets to lift the door off.

 

We had a devil of a job removing the bricks at the end doors, built with engineers bricks using grit sand and lime. Diamond blades, sledge hammers and a ‘jiga-pick’ plus tremendous muscle power did the job, suffice to say it took more than five minutes

 

Friday arrived, as did lots of help from Assc. Members. Crane arrived early at 1600 as did the push-pull machine. Everything was in place and the door had been lifted off.  Griff went off to Bawtry in his van to meet transport and guide/escort him back to shed.

This was a momentous occasion – R641 was here!  No going back now.

 

The lift off trailer onto our trolley went without a hitch, The chap that had driven the transporter giave us a bit of free advice, explaining that we should take our time and only do one job at a time.  He departed with a downcast look shaking his head gently from side to side.  He would be one of the first of a host of non-believers that came to think that R641 would never see any water again around her hull.  The boat transporter departed.

 

Then the fun started.

 

The adjustable brace supports for the hull to sit on were not adjustable through angles and one was welded incorrectly, we overcame this fairly easily though. The machine wheels on the trolley would not roll over the uneven (and in places failing) concrete surface outside of the shed very well at all. The steering bars for the pair of steering wheels were not strong enough, and soon started fracturing.

 

It became apparent that the bricks we had removed from one side of the door were just OK but the padstone that held the hinge in place had to be cut and removed, the port side was catching the other door and brickwork, but only grazing it.

 

It was becoming increasingly difficult to keep the trolley/boat away from the shed wall, so the Push/pull machine was brought in via the side door, a chain put on the trolley to try and pull the whole lot sideways, this partially worked but then disaster – Broad Ambition skewed off-centre along the trolley spine when the trolley moved and came to a sudden stop.

 

The time was now 2200 those of us left in attendance were knackered, enough was enough.  There was still about 10ft of the bow sticking out of the shed, and one large door unable to be put back on its hinges. We chocked her up to make her safe. We packed up and went home with the Project manager pondering how to get the keel back in line on the trolley spine
