Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think this boat spotted at Lincoln at the weekend may have a party trick can you guess what it is. Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Does the wheelhouse move back and down for low bridges?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Probably drops that top bit (for want of a proper description) over the back to get through the glory hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 prefer the F33 100 yds to the right!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Interesting sheer on that, I wonder what hull it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Is that Burton Waters Marina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Prefer the Ts 37 dead ahead, if only it could do this. Would love to see this in action I bet it stops the Wilkinsons shoppers at the glory hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 does the wheel house stay where it is but at the touch of a button the rest of the boat lifts over the top of it to reduce drag in the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaters Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hydraulic lowering wheelhouse to clear low bridges .How about something like this for getting under Potter instead of sliding roofs lowering roofs ,Dragons Den springs to mind !!!!

Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 maybe the cockpit on the top comes off & becomes some sort of vehicle or tender? Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Jonny Jonny I really wish that is the answer fantastic but the truth is i have no idea, for all I know the skipper and crew stand on the pontoon behind the boat and the module come over the top and encapsulates them and transports them onto the boat.

Guest Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 watched it do its "party piece" many times when we were mored there! The wheel house does indeed swing out over the stern. They have to lower it to get out of the marina, never mind through the Glory Hole! Our mooring was further along the same pontoon before we moved to the broads.

senator Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Must restrict vision a little once the wheel house is tucked behind the transom, do they have to go backwards or does it not go all the way down so they can still see forward?

Antares_9 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is that Burton Waters Marina? Looks like it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't lower completely, the windscreen is above the line on the coach roof, don't think it would get under Wroxham bridge never mind Potter, the Glory Hole is about 9'2" average air draft. And yep defiantly Burton Waters.....my wallet screams every time it sees the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 maybe its a stabilizer for when there on the plain or they lower it to put more weight over the transom to get the boat on the plain. Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I thought these stinky GP type things couldn't get any uglier, then somebody posts up this monstrosity Even a mast and a suit of sails couldn't help it. Who was the designer? Certainly not a naval architect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
