- The steamboat AMPHORA was today the first time tested on swiss water the Rhine river close to Basel and fired with coal.
The swiss water police certified today my boat and it is now officially registered with the number BL180...
I have been looking forward to see her under steam afloat for ages . Amphora is beautiful and you have done a magnificent job
thank you ;-)
Bonjour Christoph,
I had not noticed or heard you whistle ! Tremendous ! What an acheived boat, perhaps too complex for me :+) I hope her a long life all around European rivers and ponds.
Amicalement, Raphaël
Bonjour Raphael... thank you and if you are present one time in Basel Switzerland area please let me know I will explain it (AMPHORA) to you in my garage in detail... your boats look very nice and I am sure you will get all the details :-)
Great Boat. You have taken the opposite route to me in how to fit out a boat. You will be busy with all that. I have gone for the very simple way, i do not even have a steam blower . After a couple of trips out i have decided to it a air pump so slowly I am fitting more to my boat.
Thank you...Yes and I like the technical way with some steam teaching elements... I 'automatized' some steps... adjustable Stuart 5A feed pump... adjustable SW12 steam pump... adjustable lubricator... adjustable condensator with overflow... I may have for longer trips just to add occasionally some coal or paraffin... Michael from Preston SE made the joke to me to automatize the coal addition too :-)... good luck for your modification and if you have questions feel free to contact me
Very nice to watch. Thank you for posting.
thank you!
Looks like a 3" piston! well done!
...a Stuart 5A... Thank you!
