I've picked up your washing from the launderette in Skipton, kris, the lady asked if you wanted your underpants ironed. What do I tell her?

Oh dear maybe you need to check what the word means in England something dangerous or serious, such as an accident, that happens suddenly or unexpectedly. I would suggest that whatever part or parts that failed that day it was an emergency as it stopped the boat moving and cost quite a bit of money and time to put it right. And I suggest 'unexprctedly' be put in the stand in this instance. Lack of proper maintenance to machines may cause them to fail - it is not 'unexpected' you pompous twat. lol naughtyfox you can't even spell the word correctly let alone define it correctly in a way that was not expected or regarded as likely. "he died unexpectedly of a heart attack" You are suggesting that Kris did not maintain his engine properly. Now I do not know so I give the benefit of the doubt. Even so well maintain machinery fails when it is not expected to fail, nothing to do with maintenance just a part giving up the ghost at an inopportune moment.

I'd say you were getting desperate! Anyway, you'd probably enjoy a flight in my glider. Oh wait a minute, sorry there wouldn't be room for you to bring your duvet! But you could bring along the entire ACC committee! I'm a petrol head. Any form of transport without an engine bores me. lol He has an engine in his glider lol

No. Part of the definition of "emergency" is that it requires immediate action. Immediate action was not required in the OP's case, other than drifting to the side if the failure occurred mid-channel. An engine failure might possibly be considered an emergency if it resulted in loss of control of the boat at an awkward moment, but the emergency is over as soon as the boat is back under control or tied up safely. Yep but who said the emergency lasted more than a second or even milliseconds. It could have needed just turning the engine off to reduce the damage. The result was a boat immobilised being unable to move under its own power which is what this thread is about. Cause and effect

Anyway, back on topic, nobody can persuade me that in my case Crt acted legally or even correctly. It was me on the receiving end of there treatment remember not you. I actually think i did quite well in the time frame, yes it did take me longer than I expected initially, but to earn the money and do the work myself on a muddy towpath during the winter as well, I think I did okay really, in spite of Crt. I was not on a visitor mooring, did not take up a water point and was out of the navigation. In other words doing no harm to anyone. I still don't feel like I did anything wrong and definately don't feel like the crimal that certain people have tried to portray me over this.

You only become a criminal when you are found guilty of something in court (or maybe given a fixed penalty by police). But my point was and is that unless you want to be a stooge/guineapig, it is better not to find out whether you were breaching the law or not, in case you lost.

You where one of the people who took delight in pointing out to me I would loose my boat Nick, so Why should I take anything you say seriously?

Pause for a moment and think why would I take delight in something like that? I didn't even know you. What I did was warn you that I thought you were on very thin ice and that it was likely that you could lose your boat if you didn't change your strategy. You did change your strategy and you didn't lose your boat. Result. It's just a pity you have to hate me for it, but c'est la vie. It transpires you have a lot of anger and hate in you so I don't take it personally!

Mine is what they call a self-sustainer or "turbo", not a self-launcher. Cheat! I have heard some pilots say they shouldn't be relied on when you get very low. If it doesn't start you've got a big lump of metal weighing you down.

If it doesn't start you've got a big lump of metal weighing you down. Absolutely correct. Single ignition 2-stroke, about 100'/min rate of climb on a good day (so you're still going down in sink), you have to fly very slowly to avoid over-revving. The only time I would use it is over the Airfield to avoid a relight or downwind in the circuit to avoid a land out, so that if it doesn't start you can continue with the landing. I've only used it a handful of times to avoid those things,,and one of those times a wire fell off the ignition due to vibration, and it stopped stone dead. You certainly don't start it if you are in trouble in the mountains.
