  1. What is the boom made of to allow it to be so bendy, please?
  2. It's amazing what topics you can find in the past! :bow
  3. Claire, Hello from us and Welcome Aboard! (P.S. I've merged your two topics to save confusion!)
  4. Welcome back aboard the NBN from us, Rincewind.
  5. Welcome to me NBN from us, Mouldy.
  6. Luke is a Member here on the NBN, Liberty, his user name is Lucky. I quite agree, his teak woodwork is top-class. :clap
  7. Welcome board from us, too! Enjoy the NBN!
  8. And a warm welcome aboard from us!
  9. Alan, Hi. I've just read quite a few pages on this topic..They all agree it must be A4 because of the molybdenum (2-3%) that's added. Here's one you might like to peruse: http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=51126
  10. Spot on, John. (And Strow's post while I'm typing this!) But don't think it's an easy (or cheap) option, Steve and Deb, to replace a petrol engine with a diesel one!
  11. Whilst we (non-Scottish) may consider this a great opportunity to 'send-up' the Scots, might I just point out that they consider this completely serious. (Yes, I know. I'm half -Scottish, but I've lived in England nearly all my life).
  12. Hear, Hear, Strow ............ another topic to put to bed, eh?
  13. Diesel is far more common, apart from Brooms I don't think there's anywhere else you can buy it 'Darn Sarf'! Others will disagree but bye and bye diesel is a safer bet for pleasure boats on the Broads. YES, a safely constructed and well maintained petrol engine is safe, but petrol, or its fumes, are inherently more combustible!
  14. Steve and Deb, Hi For river use (where there are speed limits) a displacement boat will usually be best as they are more stable at slow speeds. A displacement boat will almost certainly be easier to helm at these low speeds. I'll leave it to the "techies" if you want more detailed info!
  15. you do like to have the last word, don't you?
  16. I say again, JIm, can we please put this to bed now...............
  17. Good night, all, then! (as Dixon would say!)
  18. You're too good, Howard! :bow (We had 20 or so onboard to get under the bridge near high water... and yes, they all had lifejackets!)
