 This boat was being moved on our moorings and had a work boat alongside to act as a tug  For obvious reasons they decided to take a position ahead instead  Needs a bit of work but it's a lovely boat based on an old Naval Pinnace (built of double diagonal teak.) After a few minutes running the engine settled down and ran beautifully |

White/blue smoke normally quenched combustion and does clear when warm. It really is a beautiful looking boat stunning

Nice boat
This or one very similar ussed to be in Limehouse marina until about a year ago.
These boats were often fitted with a pair of foden 6 cyl diesels - don't know if that one is.
Is it not the smoke generating equipment designed to disorientate the enemy?

It certainly disorientated the helmsman of the workboat ........ proper pissed him off  |
