jonnyswamp Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Was going to upload some pictures after she was cleaned and all the timber work done, but the pics are too big again Anyway, with a clean bottom and a refurbed prop, she did 24.8 knts in Cardiff bay with 2 on board and full tanks, may have squeezed 25 if we didn't have to stop to avoid the norwegian church Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Great looking boat, there is one the same opposite my berth. It makes my boat look tiny. You have loads of deck space and a bog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have loads of deck space and a bog. I've only used the bog twice in anger, both times with my legs out the door Was debating between the 230 or 250 when looking to change and went for the w/c option as Mrs swamp had plans to spend some time aboard and wouldn't want to squat over a bucket She hasn't even seen the boat, never mind shat in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 My boat came with a chemical toilet, I took it straight out. My boy loves a good crap, he’s like a cat will do it anywhere. Not on my boat. GPSguru and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Odyssey Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 I’ve got a sea toilet. Only used it twice.... first time was after a night on board and 3 hour steam in heavy seas to Milford haven. I got up at 5am, headed to Milford and dropped the pick in a sheltered bay for some kip. woke up, had the urge to go, went, flushed.... then opened the door to see a brown stain spreading out in crystal clear water..... heading towards some sailors enjoying their morning coffee.... jumped back in cabin, hauled anchor and headed elsewhere 🤣🤣🤣 Geoff, Maverick, suzook12 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff, only works on coloured hulls not white, reacts with the original pigment or something Edit The hull is still as bright as it was when first done, don't know how it will fair after a few months of sun, but it's easy to do next year if needed Edited November 29, 2020 by jonnyswamp Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
