That is Gorgeous. You could practically live on this one. What more could anyone ever wish for. The Gorgeous wood , not sure what it is, perhaps Cherry or something similar. Loved this one.

Thank you, Just as well as I’m going to have to very soon.

Thanks for sharing this, for what should be a straightforward trip there are always unexpected items that occur. I enjoyed the commentary and the additional notes coving background info.

It was a long day for sure. If anyone was doing similar i think there are defo some lesson i learned mid trip that could be useful? I used far more fuel as was trying to be carful for engine sake when just little faster would have been cheaper in long run and easier. Thanks for watching

What a fantastic trip would love to make that trip one day. Great video

It was a perfect day for it really. Planned for two days at least but went so well we had to carry on. 12hrs was a long day out in the water and body and mind was tired but well worth it.

We did Shotley to Brighton via Ramsgate in the 1990’s in a Rinker 300 with a single 5.7ltr Mercruiser doing 2 miles to the gallon! - it was so different with no wind turbines - really enjoyed the video - brought back great memories - thank you

That brave with one v8. That crossing straight from Harwich to Ramsgate I have to say makes you nervous even with two engines. But those are 26 years old

That was a very long day! 750lts of fuel wow - must have been circ £1500 worth. Would it not have been cheaper to put the boat on a lorry? I have a Targa 30 and find the fuel consumption is much better around 3k revs just off the superchargers @ approx 22kts ish.

It was just before the fuel went bonkers so timed it right really. But lorry was circa £3000. And adventure would have been missed. The speed I was doing was actually not ideal but I had limited time in open water before the trip. So could compare different burn rates with different speed. It was out of super charger but feel now I would have gone a touch faster to bring nose down slightly but we live and learn. I would have also spent more time at the key points. Really didn't back off much at all. Also had to stand to look out for fishing and lobster pots. Was defo long day. Eastbourne stop for fuel if later in the day would have been nice place to rest, but was there at mid day haha thanks for watching

I’m curious, I always thought superchargers ran continuously as they are usually belt driven as opposed to a turbocharger that comes on line when the exhaust gas pressure is high enough at a certain rpm.

Yes sorry about the sound. Was only the phone as driving and getting to get there asap. It's all coast line when in a boat travelling. I did video the Eastbourne marina but it didn't work? Different view and technical glitch.. Sorry you didn't find it interesting. Was a difficult journey. A challenge for me I guess.
