The answer To Princess Height

[Gludy]

Thanks to all for the response to mt ealirt thread.
After many days I have managed to obtain A copy of the drawing of a Princess 385 - (many thanks to the man in the spare department of Princess.
The answer is 14 feet 6 inches from the lowest point on the keel to the the windscreen top on the flybridge.
So it fits OK on a 1ft of the ground low loader. The props will also have to be removed.

It being almost impossible to arrange a good skipper with the weather etc - it is now coming by road. I can then have time to get used to the boat and have tuition etc. I tried very hard to arrange to sail her around but it was impossible to coordinate all the unknowns.

Re: aw

Not that that tough a trip. You don't have to co-ordinate unknowns, cept in complex mathematics. Cd've beetled in and out of a few harbours, then swansea. Good luck anyway.

Re: aw

The unkown is getting a good skipper at the same time as resonable weather. Forecast for this coming Wednesday night was force 7 around Land End!!

AHA! you now know where the devil lurks.
By the way they usualy make sure that theres plenty of cable on the radar but dont forget the lights and maybe GPS. Pull as much as you can back to the joint.

Re: I know not about HGVs but..

Cor blimey is there really such a thing as 1 foot off the ground low loader! Allowing for a bit of thickness in the loader itself it must be very near the tarmac ouch
