[@chrisdougherty]

Thanks Arlene! Hope you enjoy the new boat. Will you be berthed on the Shannon-Erne?

[@danielcole2009]

@@chrisdougherty hi Chris. No.she in belturbet .on erne for now, But might move her nearer Shannon when all this craziness is over,hopefully.

[@laki74]

I was wondering what are the dimensions of your boat, in terms of beam and clearance, in order to pass through all the locks and bridges?

[@chrisdougherty]

Certainly. LOA 38ft. Beam 14ft. Draft 3ft 6ins. Air draft is 9ft 2ins. No issues with locks or bridges in any way re draft. We fit under Rooskey bridge without it being raised. Tarmonbarry Bridge does need raised. Never any issues with draft in locks etc. We have grazed random objects in small rivers, but never any of the canals. Beam is absolute maximum for Lough Allen canal, all other locks are bigger. Enjoy!

We have SAS flight from Helsinki to Arlanda Sweden, and change in transit area to Dublin. Last year we started Banagher(3 times Ireland republic Shannon waterways), now starting Killadeas, hoping to turn back latest Athlone)We hope to see you(we are 2 of us onboard I and my wife Katriina). We have Northern Ireland visitor flag on starboard side of boat. I have been working in public administration as financial manager, now retired, my wife has been as pharmacist. I see in your videos that you have nice family. We have been always happy in Ireland (visited about10 times), also on narrowboat from Rathangan, cabin cruiser 3 times before, Cabin cruiser also in Holland. My hobby is video making onboard container vessels (german, finnish) for companies for logistic control.

Are you hiring your boat from Manor House Marine?

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

@@chrisdougherty Yes,last year Silverline and then 2 years(2017,2018) =2 times Private boat ftom Killaloe.We have never been in Northern Ireland waterways

[@chrisdougherty]

@@kalevilehtonen5955 Manor House boats are lovely. Our boat used to be a Manor House hire boat. It was Noble Captain III. What boat are you getting?

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

@@chrisdougherty Noble Emperor is big,but we did not get any other with both bow and Stern Thrusters. Silver Shadow last year was good,it has bow thruster only. Same Noble Duchess is also Haines 360,but it has bow and Stern Thrusters

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Good morning,you have nice family,I appreciate you. Have you anything in mind,what I should know about "Noble Captain" -Is water tank about 520litres? -Engine power,how many horse power? (I always drive about 1400 rpm,and I have seen that then it takes quite little diesel) All good for you and your family

[@chrisdougherty]

Manor House's new Noble Captains have less power now, mine is 91Hp. Expect about 6Kts at 1600rpm. Our water tank is about 400litres, diesel is 520.

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Our boat dimensions are 12,20x4,06. How is yours ? Maybe too big to Camlin river ?

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Hello Chris! We changed boat,( we had extra expenses at home and that is why we wanted cheaoer)it is now Noble captain and we start from Killadeas 30sep 2020 and at your marina 1st or 2nd oct. I remember your boat Adventurer. We have drone Mavic Air and 2 action cameras. with. I have license for UK(passed test and got reg nr OP-MHY2L7Y and IE-127418 for Ireland republic license. I am in training level for Drone and Adobe Premiere Pro 2020. It would be nice to see. We have Finnish flag in stern and North Ireland guest flag at starboard Side

[@chrisdougherty]

Our boat was previously Noble Captain III!! The same as yours will be except without canopy. Unfortunately we will not be on our boat on those dates, but have a wonderful trip!

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Sorry to ask but has Noble Captain old Seatoilet or electric?

[@chrisdougherty]

Sea toilet, with hand pump.

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

What is your opinion,is Haines 400,12 x4,06 too big to Camlin river(Canopy I han put down) ?

[@chrisdougherty]

What is your draft?

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Draft is about 1,2 m

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Draft about 1,2 m and Height above waterline10 ft 5 in (3.2m)

[@chrisdougherty]

@@kalevilehtonen5955 yeah, draft might be a problem, especially if you have two engines. We are 1.07m with single engine and propeller protection. We hit something exiting The Camlin river at the North end on the Shannon, but it was minor, with no damage.

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Yes I dont go to Camlin River although with one engine

Haines are top notch craft.

[@chrisdougherty]

Yeah, we absolutely love ours. Have had other makes before, but there are so many things to love about the Haines.... Built like a tank, well finished, superbly thought out for maintenance & access, great storage etc etc etc!

[@looneyirish007]

@@chrisdougherty you really deserve more subs. Its fab content. Ive watched all of your uploads at this stage.

[@chrisdougherty]

@@looneyirish007 Thanks, that means a lot. I wish I had time to make more content as it's great fun & excellent to watch back as time goes on. We really missed hitting the Shannon-Erne Waterway and Shannon River last year, hopefully we'll get down again this year. I do have a much longer version of our holiday video, might consider putting it up bit by bit, but it's more "family memories" rather than a boating video.

[@looneyirish007]

@@chrisdougherty Ah you should, Chris. I don't upload for views either. Just the memories. I upload for historical reasons really and memories for the crew that is usually with me.

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

Is there now problems with border Northern Ireland Ireland Republic if you cruise Shannon Erne to Ireland republic

[@chrisdougherty]

At the moment, no. Some counties further south have closed, including Banagher. Northern Ireland is fine. Travelling across the border is also fine. At the moment, bars are closed in the Republic of Ireland.

[@kalevilehtonen5955]

We from Finland try to do this fine route in sep-oct 2020

[@chrisdougherty]

It's a great journey... Highly recommended. I hope you enjoy it.

[@chrisdougherty]

Our boat is based in Bellanaleck. "Adventurer" in the Marina beside Bellanaleck public Jetties. Hopefully see you about.

[@LL-vk9zc]

Camerawork darting about too quickly - makes everyone dizzy.

[@chrisdougherty]

Nothing to do with the camera. It's the transitions used in the editing software. I do confess that I did have quite a lot of footage to squeeze in. Probably too much for the length of the video. Thanks for your feedback.

[@Rand0mclipzonps]

Why did the steal my video
