Thanks for the video. What was the cost of the St Kats berth for your stay? Thanks.

[@Aaaaaagggghhhhhh]

It was around £95 per night but if you booked 5 nights you got two free. I don't know if that's still the case.

Great video, what was the journey time in the end?

[@Aaaaaagggghhhhhh]

Thanks Chris. Appreciate your reply. On a boat like yours what kind of yearly insurance charges do you incur?

[@Aaaaaagggghhhhhh]

@@Rolothe1st I can't remember off hand, it's not very much against the insured value compared to car insurance. There a link here for getting very quick quotes (good company too) www.craftinsure.com/

What kind of economy gallons per hour do you get? At various speeds? Many thanks.

It really all depends, but on a cross channel planing run at 16-18 knots it's 54l/hour; around 1.25 mpg. Pottering around on the river it's
