  1. As usual I need to ask the fountain of all knowledge: if someone wanted to transport a 36ft woodie from Stalham to London: does anyone know who could do it? (*asking for a friend 🙈)
  2. Does anyone have or know of a BMC 2.2 for sale? The engineer is coming out looking at our engine (putting a camera down its thingy...) but in all likelihood it's going to be more costly to fix than replace. It ran dry of oil while idling in the shed, came to a stop - and will turn over but with a metallic screech: he doesn't think it sounds good... SO any recommendations? know how, do's and don'ts are massively appreciated..
  3. Hi All, Can't actually believe I am saying this but we are going to be putting Zephyr up for sale - she is a part of history and is just one of the most phenomenal boats. We've worked hard to keep the ultimate in traditional finish with modern touches to make her enjoyable in all weathers: new heating throughout, electrics. Had loads of planking replaced, interior woodwork, glazing etc (when we put her on the market we will list everything we've had done on her) More info and images coming very soon - anyone who knows her or me and are interested to know more - just message me
  4. luckily Saviour of all Dave is going to check in on her this week :)
  5. that's all that Halfords had at the time :( here's hoping
  6. Hi All, hope you're managing to stay safe and well - Cesar has a fairly nasty bought of the virus but all good now, we've actually made the move back to Norfolk too :) Now, there are many things I'm an idiot over and batteries/electrics are definitely one of them - am looking up to the knowledge of the forum to teach me how dumb I really am - need to ask some basic questions that will really help me. Went to check on Zephyr yesterday (having a few power issues) - The starter battery isn't holding any charge and was really wet (no leak in the boat) and was basically shot - so I duly replaced it (Halfords being the only place open) - I've attached a picture of how the battery was and how it is now. We have credit in the meter in the Wetshed - but it wasn't on/ charging. Could someone please do me a HUGE favour and idiot proof me on the shore power procedure and the switched that I've put on here - marking A and B - as to what should be where when we are on shore power and also if we are on shore power to charge the batteries - which ever way I put it yesterday the Centaur battery charger would not show any power going through. Hope to see everyone out and about soooon.
  7. I noticed a new (old) beauty in the wet shed today: Monarch (previously kept in Horning I think) tell us more: new owner? New shed mate?
  8. Thank you so much Dave, Family and everyone attending - an incredible experience and such warm, interesting people - we loved it. On route to Breydon - thankfully just moored up at Burgh Castle - had a perished pipe, chucking out hot water to contend with, but with the help of fellow Beccles to Breydon crossers all was well. Straight back to work this morning - the rat race begins for another while...
  9. nice and warm aboard now - (albeit main cabin is v warm the forward cabin = not so much / not really / blummin freezin...) Eric at Cox's fitted the heating, so all safe and up to regs We've made the move back to London - work getting manic and commuting in a pain in the butt - added a bit more onto the journey to Stalham, but won't be stopping us. Living by the canal and walking the dogs by the boats every night (the smell of their coal burners) is a real treat. now then... when to get the transom sorted, boat name lettering (any traditional sign writers?)..
  10. As Big ole softies we have decided that we need heating: the old system which has been disconnected and no longer working is for the propex of bygone era. We’ve stuck with propex gas hot air system: as the foundations are all in place and also most of the copper piping: have gone for the 2.8kw version. Does anyone know of a handy person that we could employ to help (basically do the install for us). At a guess a days work.
