    Hi Robbie
    Been looking at new boats. sailaways...
    now that you have been living on the canals for a while and seen some of the good, bad and even the ugly... what would you recommend to someone about to buy a sailaway.
    I see so much stuff on the net, people saying that this is good, and this is good and this is good. but I need good and cheap.
    I am looking for a 45-55ft trad. Is there any builders that you like the look of, any super deals that you have heard of.
    I am in the Linconshire area... have you heard of ABC Boats in Boston? (any good?)
    Cheers

      That’s the trouble everyone’s got an opinion haven’t they! XRND boatbuilders in Mansfield would be my choice at present if I could afford to even think about it but I’ve not really shopped around they just seemed really friendly and the work looked to be top notch when I visited this month. I would say avoid living aboard whilst doing it up - I know Journey with Jono has done just that, and with a dog and work too but he’s a one off, I couldn’t do what he’s done! 8^)

    • @FiddlingwithmyWhistle
      @FiddlingwithmyWhistle 5 лет назад

      Thanks, I'll have a look at them. And I know what you are saying. I converted a bus, whilst living in it and traveling. That was not to bad, as I could park in the hardware stores car park and do stuff. need a part, walk in and buy it.
      But with a boat, not as easy. Would like to find a house with an 'end of garden mooring'... but till then I would need to find a marina, that did not mind if you worked on it there. More like what "Colin Jaques - Narrowboat Build" is doing, but have it in the water, so I can go camping in it for some odd days, till it was done. (I wish my carpentry skills were as good as his).
      What's your views on motors, and gear boxs. I like the look of the Isuzu and the PRM 150. but once again it's just one persons view, and the fact that I have driven a few Isuzu trucks and found them to be reliable.
      Cheers

    • @RobbieCumming
      @RobbieCumming  5 лет назад +1

      Just go with your gut then as it sounds like you already have a preference. I would love a much more powerful engine like a marinised Volvo like my mate Sam had in Knottingley last year, be great to have a little extra for the big rivers. But when you can only do a few mph on the canals it can be a problem apparently as diesel engines like to operate at around 75% (although I might be wrong about that) to stop the engine from glazing.

    • @FiddlingwithmyWhistle
      @FiddlingwithmyWhistle 5 лет назад

      Hi Robbie.
      I googled XRND boatbuilders, but I can only find XR&D in Newark, (Ollerton) is this who you were talking about?
      They look as if they are a long way away from any canals... but they do look like a "can do" bussiness, seen that they made a real cool motorbike lift in the bow of a narrowboat.
      Cheers

    Worksop is my birthplace and I grew up there for 20 years so it's fascinating to hear your view on it. I have to say I laughed out loud when you gave your view of the town and the people because it was very accurate. Best thing I ever did was leave.

If you plan to buy one, chat to my brother first 😀

    Had to laugh when you commented about boaters/people not saying hello back.
    I laughed at a boater lady on our last trip in August only to be chased down and shouted at for about 20 min by the non wavey lady who had a bike and who had caught us up. Very funny but a little bit intimidating as not able to get away! Note to self, only laugh at people if they don't own a bike!!
    Great filming, canals are very photographic

    Ahhhhh workshop, the place of my updragging (Now a lincolnite of nearly 20years). Whilst the place has it's (well) hidden treasures it overall fails to inspire. Whilst former residents include Bruce Dickenson, John Parr (st Elmo's fire), Donald Pleasence (bond baddy) and others of note it's a fact that most current locals fell from high up in the miserable tree hitting every branch on the way down. Another interesting note (to me at least) is that just along the canal townwards from the cricket ground moored up adjacent to the car park used to be a floating cafe/narrowboat called the Gongoozlers rest which I last spotted on a video done by Dave (cruising the cut) shot in Braunston. Happy cruising pal.

    Exceptional vlog this week Robbie! - 08:30 - soon be 9 o'clock! Very slow connection near Worksop - filmed in early May and loads by the end of August! I can't beat you there! You missed one of the good points about Worksop - always been excellent for fresh vegetables! Does this warrant the attention of a single man on a barge? Teasing over. Enjoyed the trip through Turnerwood! Nice to see it now it's restored. Still miss the 'old cranking guitar', you'll have to keep searching for something to replace it ;-) Steve

  • @mikerobson1786
    @mikerobson1786 6 лет назад

    Yes there is a creativity in these videos which takes them ahead of the pack in terms of viewing enjoyment - other canal vlogers are also good, but there is something in the angles and the eye in these videos which is different. Some of these former industrial towns have had a really tough post industrial few decades, a generation or two of struggle for many people/families, Worksop was hit pretty hard by the colliery closures in particular, always worth bearing that in mind, although your pub visit did balance up that perspective a bit. Mike

    • @RobbieCumming
      @RobbieCumming  6 лет назад

      Thank you very much. Yes very true Mike, I’m almost sick of hearing about the mine closures as an excuse but I need to be more understanding of the point you’ve made. And it’s effects aren’t just financial in terms of town planning and investment, it has also manifested psychologically. It seems some people give up easily and don’t want to care about their neighbourhoods because they feel like there’s no point. 8^(

It was a rooster & I didn't want my eggs fertilized. They where post to be all hens, but 1 out of 17 hens wasn't to bad. It could of been worst.... lol...
