Sarah and Ian

We know the couple who own the boat. You've got a good buy.

She's still around albeit with a different name. We owned her for a few years.

If your printer and the router have a WPS button give them a press and it should allow the printer to connect to the router.

I would echo what folk have said above and if you can get yourself to Crick and have a look at one. We have had ours for 18 months or so from new. We had a few snags as you'd expect and all have been resolved in a timely fashion. All the snags we're minor issues and not things major. Our observations are: The internal fit out is solid with a lot of solid wood being used. The appliances are all branded and not cheap brands being used. They have some lovely wood working touches. The paintwork seems to be fairing ok but ours was a summer build. We've received nothing but favourable comments from people in the trade we've had to do work on her. Something is right with steelwork as she handles really well 58 X 10 WB. We had builder of bespoke boats service the engine. And we were told that they recommend Aqualine as alternate boat builder. Feel free to PM if you have any questions.

Any outside lockers it could be in?

Kinver and Wilsons are 2 separate companies. We had Kinver to do our Pram cover and they did a superb job.

We had a be-spoke chimney made not a one size fits all chimney you see from the chandlers. It doesn't even need to be pushed onto the collar tight we just drop it on. No leaks no matter what fuel we burn.

If you were at Mercia did you have a look at the Aqualine range.

I don't think I live in that hard an area we have no issues with Lime scale. Perhaps I'm just overly fussy liking my shiny granite. lol

Lifes to short

We have black granite in the Galley and the Bathroom. I use my Karcher Window Vac to dry it off when its been wiped down or you will always see the water marks on it.

Does anybody have a time frame when this lock will be re-opened. We have friends stuck above it. Thanks in advance.

I'm inclined to agree with Mike. Our oven is a belling and it performs superbly.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I shall pass all this info onto my friend.

Yawn. Nothing to do with A British entrepreneurs using the Poilish expertise and history of shipbuilding. I have yet to find Narrowbuilt all fitted with British produce ie fridge freezer inverter etc it's quite poor argument

Hello a friend at our Marina has a hydraulic bow thruster. He mentions he has to keep topping the fluid it. Is this a normal thing can they spring a leak or is it more serious if they do. Thanks in advance.

I can confirm that all new Aqualine boats are built in Poland in Gdansk. The narrow boats were built in the the UK for a short time At MCC but production was then re-established in Poland. Interesting saying they are higher in the water. We were moored next to an Aqualine boat for 4 years and it never towered above hours. But our neighbour I presume had full tanks. We now own a widebeam Aqualine boat and they are not under specified with batteries or kit nor was our neighbours narrowboat. I would say the quality of fit out is on par with any of the builders. I would focus on the fact that the labour rates are cheaper and the quality of the fit out materials are the same as would be used in the UK. They also adopt a semi bespoke fitout approach so you can often find subtle differences from boat to boat.

Moonrakers are excellent in our area. A lot of people have them on our Marina. We had one for 3 years before getting Sky.

I'm not sure if they would travel that far but Kinver Canopies do excellent work. http://www.kinvercanopies.co.uk/

Thanks everyone and thanks Tim.

I'm not 100% sure where the boat is called High Kelling on ABNB if that helps with the location. The chap has cycled past it and seen it.

Cheers Martin. Will do I thought he was moored at Sawley Marina.

Hello Just wondered if anybody new who owned the moorings at Trent Lock. They are on the left hand side as you come up from Trent Lock. They have grassed area and some have sheds etc. This is on behalf of a friend who is interested in a boat that is for sale. He liked the mooring so wondered if there would be chance of being able to have a mooring on this stretch. Thanks in advance.
