Gear boxes in - sea trial.............

[Solitaire]

sucessful! Motala should have been relaunched end of last week, but due to a probelem of having to replace the pressure plates due to the increased pressure of the hydraulic boxes we had to delay. But yesterday all was well and while we have not gained speed and will need some small adjustments to the props next time she is lifted all went well.

Shinney new props

and away she goes

I saw Col and Jon on Monday for a swift beer - glad to hear that the final bits went well. Certainly looking good on the water!

Cheers,
Rick

Motala looks great in the video. Hope those Rolls Royce jetdrives you were looking at haven't given you any ideas.
