That's true roger ... HW2 also available with either prm or blackstone box

Just the two Tim, also got a hr2 with black stone box and complete with raised handstart if anyone is interested. Need to clear some space out ...

Hi I've got a couple of lister hr3's. Inbox me for more details. Hi I've got a couple of lister hr3's. Inbox me for more details.

To be fair to Daniel, the bridge was on a bend and both boats were at speed. I don't think I could of avoided a collision in them circumstances.

The line will also act so as to stop the boat from riding back onto the cill say if the engine went out, which why rare with a boat that is set up well, there is always a chance a bolinder can go out which switching from ahead to astern, true the boat should go back in the lock slowly by itself when going downhill but this does not always work with every lock. Also to note the thumbline or gate line will if correctly rigged up will flick off the top of the Luby if the line was to foul. Unfortunately most people seem to have the line tied off on the mast due to a lack of understanding. As previously commented as long as the gates are not forced open until the level no harm is done to lock furniture and fitments, I totally agree that it's quicker to open the gate by hand as you can usually open the gate before the level when there's still a few inches of water in the lock. Just to add for clarification I'm responsible for the boats involved in the video as I'm sure most of the previous posters are aware anyway.

There seems 2 have beem problems with the pound between the top and middle lock for over a year now hav had to fill the pound up on many ocasions, passed through today on emu and no problems at all, the problem is the middle lock top gates leak and pound goes down if the bottom gates are not completley shut. waterways are well aware of the situation,

Yes and no, the Midlands and coast taurus is still in grub street cutting as david says, the butty paired with snipe was originally called crater and re-named as taurus to replace the m and c one when went out of service as hotel boat, the middle northwich taurus is now owned by peter wakeham and paired with the josher baron, if i get over that way i'll take a pic and post it

Three hands is plenty of people to work a pair , especially when empty, no crew required, send one down with motor and leave two on the butty, just remember to tow on the longer pounds at atherstone. I just love the mentality of trust boats that seem to think they need dozens of people to work a pair through locks. In my opinion as daniel says any more than four your tripping over each other. In any case its efficency, not the amount of crew or running to set the locks its being in the right place at the right time with the mininum amount of effort, rant over for now

The pair had just under thirty ton at the national, fazeley was loaded 15ton dead at boxmoor and i should think clover still had about 10ton on it then, all unloaded day after pic and traveling light again! Boats are backs at south island at ponders end with the rest of fleet.

The correct term would be Tumblehome and the cabin slopes inwards to give clearance at bridges and tunnels, so the cabin is not fouled. Clearly a butty has more tumblehome as it has no gunnels and also rides higher out of the water when empty.

At gosgrove with the pair en route to stoke event will pop in before braunston, had a far less eventful milton keynes pound today than with Hare and Stafford

The half a josher is the back end of a butty malcolms got, lets have a go at naming all other 9 shall we?

Hope you've remember to count Hare.

Been through numerous times with the full length Fmc Clover and Hare with no problems also been through with fellow R W Davis boat Alder and no problems what so ever, nothing to worry about, the locks are tighter on much of the bcn
