..a trip out in milford haven pt1

[dennis61]

Here we are with the perfect combination

An Avon 4m and a Land Rover...V8 of course

...and I did put the engine up before launching

Saw that leaving East Llanion on Wednesday afternoon.

Nice day out?

..apart from the engine deciding to just stop just as we got to the Jolly Sailor and not want to restart for 40 mins

I think I must have has a gob of oil or water go through. Took the plugs out , drained the bowl etc, turn it over a few times, left it for a bit then with a cough & splutter off she went again and fine since. We have had this engine for 12 years and this was teh first time she skipped a beat!

Had a couple of kind offers for a tow back to Llanion but we got there under our own steam, well hydrocarbon oil......
(Only got one name..thanks Dan)

Not a bad place to break down

Does it plane with 15 ponies?

[dennis61]

She planes easily with 2 adults.(14 + 10 st) 18 mph

With another 8 st you need to work it up onto the plane 16 mph

Over that its displacement only

One up she flies - yet to do a GPS speed check
