"Can you imagine the torque?"

Probably very little, when spread across the whole transome like that - will cancel each other out I imagine.

One big one in the middle however!






Know what I mean /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Had a bit of a fuel snag with it today Bill.


Had to drop the anchor at the rush!

Pinched Fuel line starving the engine!

£7500 engine, but still can't work without fuel!

Getting sorted though, more fun tomorrow!!

Launching at Tollesbury

Going for the first 'Blat'

At medium tilt!

Funday though, beside the fuel snag!

This is going to sound like I'm having a go at rib drivers but I'm not. Honest.

Don't you get bored just belting around? Doesn't the novelty wear off?

I ask because in the dim distant past I was a rib instructor and and while I thorougly enjoyed the teaching and the excersises, I could never imagine spending a day just belting around in one.

 

[A_7]

Al, why did you call it a 'Blat'?

 

[AlJones]

Tried to find it Paul but couldn't!

Would you be so kind as to copy and paste think link! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif


Thanks for the info!

Al.


Disregard my last, found it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You're right Duncan, Once you've been fast thats it!

I much prefer using it as a working boat, close quarter manouvering and stuff!

It has been purchased to join the power school fleet at our school.

Fancy a bit of moonlighting from the Job?

Just an old saying from RN days!

I admit I wasn't having a blat in that Photo, but I was on my way to have a blat!

Why do you ask? Does it mean something different in your part of the world? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Unfurtunately, what little I can remember is almost 25 years out of date!

If your ever going down to Haslar give us a pm, your welcome to come and have a pint, or three!!

Most of the jollies I have down there are all ex-Job or serving!
Come to think of it, that would be a reason to stay away!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anytime mate, you'll be welcome.
