Loving your videos guys. Millport has the most sheltered visitor moorings on the clyde now since the new breakwater was installed and they are free. Last sat night we had 43 visiting boats, 13 moored and 30 anchored in 3-5 mtrs sand with good holding. Good pubs and hotel serving good food. Tighnabruich is pronounced Tin a bru ick.🏴🇮🇪🏴🇺🇦
I just got home from 10 days of hiking in Glencoe. The storms produced the most amazing sights of the weeping glenns. It was the trip's highlight, which included the touristy stuff like golf in St Andrews, the Royal Military Tattoo, and some really amazing meals. I did think about you and the boat whilst travelling about.
Hi guys worth mentioning is you are struggling to start the engine continual cranking can fill the exhaust system with sea water as there’s no exhaust pressure to push the water out. If you are struggling to start close the sea cock and open when engine has started. Hope it was a hiccup
@@V8guy3500 yes this was our big concern as I think putting too much water through it contributed to the destruction of the previous engine. I don't think that was the case this time, I have since this reconfigured the exhaust and water inlet to hopefully reduce the risks of damaging the engine in this way. This issue could have been a simple as a stuck stop lever but it's hard to confirm as I didn't check it at the time
Hi guys, lovely video as always. I’m not sure if you’ve gotten to the bottom of your engine issue by now or not, but if it was struggling to start, it sounds as though it could be a fuel or electrical problem. It could be something as simple as a bit of air made its way into the fuel line. 🤞🏻
Never really got to the bottom of it, we do have another similar issue with it later but it worked pretty flawlessly the rest of the trip. The best theory we have is that the stop lever was getting stuck, which is why it would just start working after messing with it for a while. Haven't been able to confirm this but the stop cable ended up breaking later in the trip so seems like a possible culprit
@@Sp3ktral22 It's a pretty simple design just 2 pieces of wood which sandwich on either side of the pushpit rails. The inside of the pieces of wood have grooves cut out to match the rails so they don't slide about. Hope that makes sense.

We're really enjoying following your sailing adventures and photographs of our favourite places. Hope to see you on the water some time!
Thank you so much ❤️

Oh wow Glencoe is STUNNING, somewhere I'd love to spend a lot of time! Glad you had a great trip 👍

May I ask if you might show us how your electric dingy outboard is mounted on to the pulpit of Hat Trick please?
