A video to show the lighting up of Consuta's loco boiler, then oiling the DesVignes engine and warming through.
Shot on a chilly damp day at the end of the season just before hauling out for the winter, so please excuse the state of the boat ;-)
The charitable trust that runs Consuta has recently (2017-2018) been awarded Heritage Lottery Funding to construct and install a much lighter boiler more akin to what she would have been fitted with when first built.
The new boiler will allow her boiler casing to be lowered to it's original form, help her to perform better and she'll be easier to steam too, so all for the good.
