Don't have any experiance myself but remember talking to Paul after Kath and he ran theirs up the French canals for nearly a week at 6 knots.

I remember he was impressed with how well it coped, and only gave a slight cough and splutter when opened up again at St Malo.

When we where cruising to the folly Tim, the overheat alarm went off a couple of times. Paul just shut her down and restarted a couple of times. Might be a computer glitch? Speak to paul!
