    my production is nowhere like the scale that JO is producing, but I have ordered materials (if Amazon can deliver them) to over £100 for my part in this effort, and my printer will be printing these for the forseeable future at a rate of 1 an hour.

    Grendel  what printer are you using?? These 3dverkstan ones print in 30 mins with the right settings, the prusa ones take longer, the one remaining creality printer I have running prints two off in an hour and one minute, that's 100% solid with a .4 nozzle

  2. Don't know if anyone remembers the name of this fine craft , or a make/model , my father and myself hired this around 1984/5 It was our first father son holiday after my parents got divorced , just looking through some old photos when I stumbled across these pictures and it jogged my memory of more happy times so wondered if it was still around , not 100% sure but pretty certain it was from Richo's

    Just do as they say ( they are not asking)? Really? 

    Why not simply comply with the law? That surely is what we should do?

    This is the whole crux of this debate, compliance to requests are just that requests. You do not have to do as requested. What you do have to do is comply with the law... 

    There is a huge difference that I thought was completely understood! Obviously I was wrong, oh well never mind. 

     

    I agree it's just a request  not the law, but to make the whole problem go away just put the number temoraraly  where they want it , in six months time it will be forgotten about and something else will crop up, its not a huge problem is it , just follow the guide lines and there is no problem and nobody needs to get uptight and stressed out about it.

    Well according to the regs I read, 'B.A's 'Bow' reg numbers are not compliant.

    However they are in the exact location that Jack Powels first put them on in 1966.  That's fifty three years ok until now.  I have no intention of changing that particular piece of history where our 'B.A' is concerned, not to mention the mess / scarring that would result thereof.  I have much better things to waste my time on  - I can see a a tantrum / hissy fit on its way

    It's not 1966 anymore , ba  is nothing like it was back then, they didn't fit deking, led lights ,mikuni or planner heating or even beta engines, things change , just put the numbers where they are required and problem solved, private boats/hire boats it doesn't matter just do as the ba ask and the problem has gone away...

    Definitely not, the air draft is too high and if I owned a boat, I would not post pictures. Having been on here for a while you get to know the ones that really love the broads and can only afford to hire a boat. But then you get the ones that just come here to brag to being able to own a boat! They are few and far between, but they are here. :default_icon_rolleyes:  

    At least it will go further than Brundall to Reedham once a year

    Not gonna happen.

    As long as I'm able to control the helm - then the deck crew can do the rest.  Besides to be honest even if I was to consider fitting a pu55y button to 'B.A' I'm not sure there is enough depth in her hog / fwd bow to facilitate one without major surgery.  That major surgery would no doubt fall on my shoulders, another reason for it not to happen - as if I needed one

    Griff

    The so called ***** button as  you call it is because my wife is disabled and no use at all when it comes to mooring up, and my balance is at best questionable since an infection damaged my inner ear, it's pretty much to ensure we are safe and don't put ourselves or others at risk when manovering  in tight spaces, like lots of things in life if it makes things easier and safer that's got to be a good thing, would you call abs on bikes like triumph tigers scardy cat brakes , no of course not , they are not essential but nice to have , thanks for all the other advice we have had a couple  of quotes and are progressing with our purchase , sorry for not replying or updating thread sooner but we are surrounded by boxes and busy busy sorting stuff out for the house move..

  7. Just wondering if anyone can recommend anywhere preferably up north that could fit a bow thruster to an Alpha 35 ?? Just wanted to get an idea of price before we sign on the dotted line , it's way down on the list of things we need to do but needed a quote or an idea of approx cost so we can budget for everything else, boat will 99% be moored in Horning just need to confirm details when we move home on the 18th..thanks

  8. Upped our offer today as our original  one was declined , it's not too far away from the asking price and what the estate agents have said the vendors are hoping for,  so pretty confident that it will be accepted, our little boat has been sold and has been trailered away today, never thought that would be so hard to watch , gonna miss it more than I thought..
