Fantastic Dale, you must be so excited! We remember how that felt. We haven't actually made a decision yet, but we would like to take our boat to crick 2025 😊
@@leealibuildingtheblackswan2098 Very excited! Our home mooring is Crick and we have reserved a mooring when we get delivery. We are keeping everything crossed that it is before the show! The wonderful thing about the section of canal you are currently on is the 22 miles of lock free cruising, fantastic for weekend breaks, and central for starting a long holiday cruise.
@leealibuildingtheblackswan2098 I was building boats when Dave was swimming in his dad rookie mistake just like your bow truster will come back and bite you
Hi, I am afraid that Dave is incorrect for the shackle bolts, they should go from top to bottom because if they loosen off gravity will let them fall out, the other way from top to bottom they will remain in place.
I did hear Lee question it, as a safety measure you can place some locking wire through the bolt hole and lock it off to the chain link to stop it rotating. You will be in the water soon? Have you got a date?
@dalejones4184 good advice. We are going in on the next boat lift, which was November but it looks like it's going to be the spring now. Very exciting! 😊
Our boat starts a week Monday, we are going to go up to Stoke to see the baseplates laid down, then it gets launched in October for a 7 month fit out. Where are you going to keep Black Swan? Will you stay local to North Kilworth?
That's lovely, we hope all goes to plan for you!! Yes it is a good central place to travel in any direction.

Hi guys, it sure is 😊
Engine control panel done. getting there guys.
For the shackles you can lockwire the pins so they can't unscrew.
Great advice thank you 😊

Hope the wind has died down!! Dave was starting to look like a snowman for a little while frostbite on his fingers!!! xx
Lol I know! He has been painting his boat 😅
Hi guys, can I ask where did you get your bathroom fan from?
Hi Oliver, it was quite a while ago so not sure. I believe it's a swift air 12v bathroom fan. Marine Electricals do them.

Hi Dale, thank you for your comment. Yes that was exactly what I said and yes we have switched them round😁

Yes I know what you mean Dave. I started my marriage working from the back end. And it was sideways also.
😂😂
Has Dave been making blueberry pie, by the look of his hands ???
😂😂 he has been painting his boat.. I said to lee his fingers look mouldy 😅
