  2. Km Is right with the strength of the rope to chain link v the eye splice I used to shudder looking at those three strands around that link , I just payes to keep an eye on it

  3. Yes native that’s what we want if it doesn’t sink in that others have to put up with the bad wash of these boats because most of the skippers of these boats do t have a clue what they are doing. They are not boating people they don’t care and don’t want to know , most have never done any safety training or seamanship corses they only want to go fishing or tow there kids around anchorages ,, I used the words ,,most , and some , but not all , as the ones who do respect the others we wave thanks

  4. I brought an English marinised motor for my boat. Some of the motors I saw in the factory in England while I was there were set up for the canal boats same block but beautyfull painted and polished brass fittings , some steel parts dipped and polished on brass or bronze I was told they were for canal boats
