    Hi people just to let you know that the Saturday of the meet is also the Sat of The Yare Navigation race which involves lots of rag & sticks racing from Coldham Hall to Breydon and across before returning on the same route. Start time will depend on the tides but could be as early as 7am so if you are using this route to reach Surlingham plan your journey accordingly. There will be lots of participants as I believe but could be wrong that this is the second biggest  race behind the 3 Rivers

    I have`nt read ALL this thread, as i`m off to watch BSB in a short while, and somebody else might have asked the question already.  We have a CO alarm on Lightning, which is tested most weeks, maybe we should have a syndicate recommendation it`s check EVERY week?. My question is though, is carbon monoxide heavier than air, as gas for cookers etc is, and in the event of a leak, will build up from the bilges up, which can easily lead to an explosion. Our CO alarmn is fitted next to the upper helm steps in front of the engine house, and also about six feet fwd of the cooker. However, although Lightning (exactly the same layout as Thunder) has most of her accomodation on one floor level, the fwd cabin and en-suite is a step down, AND, is immediately in front of the lower helm station, which houses the warm air heater.  We`ve already decided at this years AGM to have abother CO alarm in the fwd cabin, but does CO sink like gas, or could it be lighter than air filling the top half of the accomodation?. I think it`s important to know, so any alarm (s) fitted can be fitted in the most appropriate places?.

     

    co can exist at high or low level, it can even linger in a corner of a cabin at a dangerous level while the rest of the space is ok,  because of this detecters should be placed at head height, but remember whilst your sleeping  where,s your head(hopefully not in the gutter!!) , all to do with the weight s of the different gases ,which i cant think of the exact answer at the mo!!

    hear,s what i was trying to explain http://carbonmonoxidedetectorbeeping.com/correct-understanding-about-carbon-monoxide-weight-to-air/
