Oh no! Look out for a Fisher with a Torqeedo outboard strapped to the stern. He was always keen on removing inboard engines

They are very cheap... wonder what the feedback is on them..

I know DW has a puritan environmentalist streak so I am not surprised he's going that way - he always hated the engine in the Mirror Offshore, and as for Seagull's....

After the Diesel in our last boat imploded and needed £2.5k of repairs we'll stick with outboards, but then we are looking at a boat 10' shorter and 4 tonnes lighter !

Electric is a step too far for me, although we did use it many years ago sailing on Rutland water.

Thanks for the various input. Very happy that we now have a Hunter Minstrel sitting on the drive. Can't wait until better weather and we can try her out.

You'll be having a great season exploring the boat and all the skinny bits of water.

Must say looking forward to getting back on the water having given up sailing for good four years ago, this is a highly addictive hobby ?!

BTW do any Minstrel / Liberty owners out there know if the HLMOA is still running, I sent an email to them a week or so ago and also message to the Facebook forum but no response to either yet.

I’m a member. I can still access the members section. It’s a small group run by volunteers (obviously). I suggest giving them a bit longer and then email again if needs be.

He's also just released (or rather re-released) a whole load of content to You Tube.. 4K quality.. one hopes hat the Fisher is far enough advanced that he can take it to Scotland and recommence the KTL journey..

Seen, with the Fisher at Suffolk YH in the last day or so, doing some maintenance whilst leaning on the scrubbing piles...
