The Nauticus Canal Cruiser

Thanks Watsmore, We're going over tomorrow to de-winterise (if there is such a word?) and shake down from winter before our cruise - the icicles hanging from the ceiling last time should have gone by now! I'll have a go at removing the screen, hoping you're right about it being easy enough. Soapy (O...

I forgot to add that I measured the height above water to the top of the windscreen as 2.1M (7'0"), just in case anyone wants to know without getting the old stick of inches out.

Thanks Terrapin, It was only last Sunday (20th) that I decided to download the booking form for Standedge. I was a bit miffed when I then (and only then) discovered that all GRP and petrol driven boats are disallowed from Standedge. It's a bit late to tell us, that is, when we are getting ready to b...

The subject line says it all really! Come 24th March we taking Our Eden down to the Leeds and Liverpool and setting off for a 5-6 week cruise - L&L, Leigh Branch, Bridgewater, Trent and Mersey, Macclesfield, Huddersfield and back across the L&L again. I'm just a bit concerned as I've been to...

I should have mentioned above that I think I have solved my 'clunk'. The timing was a little out but most important the weights in the distributor were not doing their job. They are supposed to fly out under centrifugal force to advance the timing with higher revs. I dismantled it at home loosened e...

Hey there Riverdance,

A bit like Sapphire I found it fairly easy to work on the cable, etc. from in the water - I just did it where she was moored. Only about 3'6" to 4'0" deep so I got hold of a pair of chest waders (about

I sincerely hope it isn't Riverdance - I don't want to get involved with something that deep. I've already given up with trying to get the tuning right and have handed it over to the marina to sort out. Lucky you, with the mysterious noise elimination system, Rita won't have anything to do with gas ...

I wonder if anyone can solve a little mystery for us? We had some early problems with gear cable linkage on 'Our Eden' which have been solved but there remains a mystery 'clunk'. We have twice now tried to increase revs as far as possible under way. Only momentarily I hasten to add - not trying to b...
