SHIP HAPPENS At Southampton Boat Show 2023

[@richb313]

Glad you guys took a break and had fun at the boat show running into people you know and learning stuff as well.

[@colinwilliams9290]

Simon “no wonder she enjoys fishing” that had tea coming out of my nose😂😂😂

[@jbprospector3638]

So glad you guys took a break and had some fun. Thank you for sharing. 👍😎

[@ShipHappensUK]

Our pleasure!

[@bobperry1269]

On a slightly different note I was reading that the fuel cost for taking HMS Medusa to the Normandy beaches would be 6000-8000 pounds and that it costs 20000 pounds a year to keep her shipshape. I wondered if you had considered running costs for Sarinda in the future.

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Great to meet you guys! I’ll have to get up and visit your boat’s soon 👍

[@ShipHappensUK]

Definitely Dan! Would be great to have you over to the boat!

[@davidflamee]

[@lindacolaprete7324]

Hi good to see you at the show Ed C

[@ShipHappensUK]

You too!

[@leewahler3058]

When selecting a tender it is important that the tube is usable IOW can you walk or sit on it. Also think about how you will be boarding the tender from the main vessel? Sturdy or solid bows are needed

[@martynbuzzing3327]

Living in Scotland, I miss all the boatshows down south..😢

[@billmoran3812]

No limit to way to spend your money! Nice to see you both as celebrities at the boat show.

[@mikelong8898]

A good mix from the show and you were lucky with the weather. Great fishing score.😂

[@stagman244]

We had a great time at the Southampton boat show a few years back it was an eye opener - we're on our 3rd boat since then... 🙄

[@Roskellan]

Wooden boats, I had a 40ft Bury Boat - a project to be sure. I sort out the local expert on Wooden Boats and his advice, burn it and save yourself a lot of trouble and he wasn't kidding to be sure🙂. I have spent far more time working on them than sailing them, and not a single regret.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

20 years ago, I looked at a Dutch barge on River Stort near Hertford. It looked great until you looked more closely. It was riveted plate construction so at least 100 years old. Even worse, it had numerous welded patches. What was the chance it had rusted into holes and would never be reliably repaired. I walked away but have always wished I could have taken on something similar.

[@mrmullett1067]

Very interesting, thanks for taking the time to share.

[@marvindebot3264]

It's great to see the support that you, as a relatively small channel are receiving from some of the big names in marine. You neglected to mention that you may have had 22 overall but didn't you get #1 female? Those roll up boat hooks are the duck's guts.

[@merlindsbest]

Glad you got to take a break!

[@TheCNCDen]

Something mentioned on another channel worth thinking about, great to have all the toys, but the old analogue will still be there when the power is down or doing what electronics often does. Keep a percentage of the important instruments analogue.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Good point!

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Oil pressure can be T’d off to a gauge and a transducer. Coolant uses a resistance transducer. Very reliable & no moving parts. One sensor should drive digital and analogue. If not, fit two transducers. Turbo boost or better mass airflow can be read from a MAF sensor. Exhaust gas temperatures are thermocouples or resistance bulbs. Use one for digital and another for analogue.

[@RedSeas]

So great to bump into you guys - thanks for the mention. Broken boat club, woo! 😂

[@kevinmartin3859]

That was nice break for a busmans holiday would love to have been able to attend the show looked great

[@mort-u1n]

Well done. Enjoyed that!

[@ronaldmarston]

Yes like they say in Canada great lakes region, a boat is a hole in the water that you keep pouring money into.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Wonderful show and information

[@natalyillescas5334]

Que buen evento exposicion

[@michaelwilkinson2928]

Always a great show unless it's raining!

[@MariaRuthTrigozoBarbaran-gk7ux]

Fenomenal 👍

[@Antony_Jenner]

Dan Lee needs one of those V16 scale engines for that model boat maybe even two.

[@dannycrooks8462]

Near spit my tea out there when I heard strap on 😂😂😂

[@studentjohn35]

Half expected the Z-crew from Sailing Zatara to bump into you there , or Leo from Tally Ho.....

[@lovelifeloveboat]

We had alot of fun too - unfortunately, we spent far too much time on the Shawbury Wine stand (And spent too much money) You will have to let us know how the boat hook thingy works out!

[@hamshackleton]

OOH, I'll have one of these, and two of those, maybe six of that one - - - Money? No, I don't have any - they're not free? 🙂 - - - That rolled up thing with a cable and plug on it, on the boathook stand - looked like an inflatable radio aerial, in the glimpse I got.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Yes it was an emergency VHF antenna

[@donclay3511]

You're going to melt your chocolate, Gemma. That's against the law!!!!!! :)

[@ShipHappensUK]

It didn't last long enough to melt 🤣

[@nicksearle3677]

Bought my paddle boards just after meeting Gemma. Wife said I wasn’t allowed to buy any boats but she said nothing about boards…… got 50% off, so bought 2.

[@robertgoldsteen604]

Wish I was there

[@sevsteve9344]

Welcome to my home town

[@piercet]

I'm not into boats or wooden boats, I'm just watching this channel for the cooking and gardening tips!

[@laptopuser3323]

Gday guys

[@scottlomas5509]

Fantastic 😊

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks 🤗

[@paulbriggs3072]

DON"T get RID of the ANALOG GAUGES! KEEP THEM and ADD the digital....junk....as well! Then when one fails you have redundancy.

[@uowebfoot]

"No wonder she likes fishing." lol

[@ShipHappensUK]

🤣🤣🤣🦈

[@LeydavidValera]

Buenas maquinas

[@milagroshuamani7407]

Waoo

[@fbl902]

A black tender will get hot in the sunshine - possibly too hot...?

[@ShipHappensUK]

In the UK that doesn't happen often!!

[@johnnorth9355]

Ah gadgets and tech. If you are anything like me you will look back at all the stuff you have that you never used but just had to buy LOL.

[@6109river]

4th boat ?

[@southerneruk]

Do you know how many Southampton people go to the Boat Show, population around 1/4 million of which only 18,000 live inside the Town boundaries and only ?% go to the show

[@ShipHappensUK]

What % go?

[@southerneruk]

@@ShipHappensUKup to 5% back before business took over and put a price on the gate, it was 80 plus %

[@ShipHappensUK]

@@southerneruk wow! It is an expensive show

[@southerneruk]

@@ShipHappensUK shame really as it was the local river users that started the show in the first place when it was free to all to enter. Mayflower Park is allowed to be close to the public for 10 days in a year for maintenance, they use these ten days for the show, it is a public park that is open 24 hours for people on foot Cheapest ticked this year was £19-99 for PBO readers, but £44 was the standard ticket for 2 days, VIP tickets available at a cost of £156.25 per person

[@jeremyfdavies]

Simon you’re incorrigible 😂

[@ronaldmarston]

I don't know if venders (advertisers) have figured out I'm sure some have but Utube sites are hitting a focused audience sponsoring them is better than shotgunning your message out to an an audience most of which aren't interested in it.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Alot don't understand this, the USA market switched on along time ago, the UK not so much!

[@johnnorth77]

👍⚓

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]
