Very nice indeed Matt!

What's her cruising speed? Trying to upload some of our little Hardy, Forty Winks....She's a cracker of a boat

I have a vid here somewhere of us coming out of the estuary on RNLI Day

Very nice boat but not layed out right for me. The living quarters are large whereby the toilet is tiny! Nice boat though

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #9 on:** April 20, 2010, 12:54:16 »

haha I was surprised the toilet looks small in the picture...but its pretty much average size

And Jack her crusing speed is around 20 knots however I highly doubt we'll do 20 knots due to the amount of fuel we'll be burning but her top speed I believe is around 25-28 knots not too sure

We too have their own boat

. I can put pictures of when it is in the water, or May Day

. But it goes 20knots and a top speed of 24knots

.

Mayday? Yikes thats not good

Traddles · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2010, 14:08:44 »

May Day is NOT Mayday.

May Day is the first day of May and the start of Summer. It is also a Communist holiday, or should I now say a Russian holiday?

Very nice boat, Matt!

I've done work with that motor yachts before, (I am not at liberty to say where) but I love yours!

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2010, 17:51:37 »

One thing I did notice, which I was curious about, and seen it before on a lot of American boats...The gearbox - how does that work?

We used to have a heavy duty one on Mary, with the gear 'stick' on the left and the throttle to the right (Sat back to back on eachother)...Forty Winks has the 'all in one' approach. Its a lot easier, but takes a bit of getting used to...especially with the power in the outboard. I literally sort of, tap it, rather than push...otherwise she picks her heels up too quickly

- and Fleetwood are very funny when it comes to boats coming in at speed...It's funny though, since it's alright for the yachts (as in, sailing boats) to come in as fast as they want, but a power boat? no no no...

- but they don't mind me so much, I'm sensible enough I think

And dad is generally always near by anyway...so all is good.

I just have to say!

Adorable boat

This is my boat FTW

wooden boat

8-12 knots.

A beatiful Saab Engine from 1956
We are currently taking off the painting (Not painting. I dont know what it's on english :S you have it on old boats)

Anyway. Here's a old video when i start the Saab engine

And yes. I used 2 secs to start it. But i had run it a little bit and then turned it off.
Usaly i use 40secs - 2mins to start her.

the one in our old wood boat only has a single cylinder, and 10hp, but I must say those engines wont stop running, very reliable.

It is a 2 cylinder's engine

And a good thing with our saab engine. Is that it runs only it smells diesel smell, It almost runs on free of charge ;P

Im sure your boat Matt uses a lot of fuel

No. It's sAAb, and not sabb
