Re: Windscreen rubber white

I came across this the other day when looking as well, seems to be a good profile for windscreens: https://sealsdirect.co.uk/pdf/AT1987DR.pdf and a much wider selection here: https://sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp? ... ntId=68#90 they mostly seem to be black though.

Upper Thames Trip 26th Aug

We are going to have a little trip down the Thames next Monday (bank holiday). It’s nearly the top of the river so very winding and scenic. Weather is looking pretty nice and it might be the last opportunity to make the most of it! If anyone would like to join us you are more than welcome. We will l...

Re: PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK

If it’s working on some devices and not others as oppose to your account vs someone else’s then it’s down to your device and there is little even an admin could do to help. We had this on the forum a few weeks ago, a member said he had been blocked from the forum on his phone. When he connected his ...

Re: Inboard propeller

Have a two blade race prop off an Albatross plus a 1" prop shaft if of use to you - will bring over when collecting the new toy if required ? :drink: Yeah that would be good, if I can try a selection then I will get a better idea of what will work for me... Malcolm it is very likely that this won't...

Inboard propeller

Does anyone have a propeller that I could beg, borrow, or buy?? It doesn't need to be anything specific other than an inboard propeller ideally for a 1" shaft but as I haven't got the shaft yet this isn't crucial and of course typical of the sort of thing used on our type of boats and not for a tug!...

Re: Forum v Facebook

It is a difficult one this... it is definitely a sign of times changing! Personally I would say one of the biggest reasons for the forum suffering in comparison to Facebook is just simply down to the devices people are using to browse the internet these days. Fewer and fewer people are sitting down ...

Re: "Rocket" Hydroplane Build

I thought I'd post a little update on this as most of the things I post about the build are on the Facebook page I set up for this (apologies for non Facebookers). Progress is coming on in waves in between other bits and pieces and the boat is having another push at the moment. I'm currently just ge...

CMBA YouTube Channel

We have now set up a CMBA YouTube channel where we hope to be able to share some of the footage from our rallies etc. I'm sure we all spend many hours watching boat videos on YouTube (I know I do) so this should be a great avenue for like minded boat enthusiasts to find our club. The link for the ch...
