That’s a great way of capturing your holiday and showing prospective hirers the type of boat. 😊

Lovely video, thanks. A hint: we have a similar length boat and we turn around at Neatishead using our ropes and bow thruster, much easier than tying to do a 3-point turn. Have your engine on for safety obviously, but you shouldn't need to use it. If you start moving your bow out using the thrusters another member of your crew can then pull the stern forward to aid turning around. The boat should then just turn around naturally.

Yes, using the warps is better, but reversing out isn't difficult, especially with a bow thruster. Better still, reverse in, in the first place

Don’t you just love people who criticise the helm skills of inexperienced boaters. Good video mate and nothing wrong with your boat handling…….from an experienced boat owner 👍🏼

Thanks. Mark, who did all of the proper piloting, mooring the boat etc, did a pretty amazing job in my opinion.

Love the video. How much fuel did you use from your £200deposit?

@andybltt 2 ай бұрын

Thanks. I honestly couldn’t tell you how much fuel we used though. I have a feeling it was about £60 but don’t quote me. Thanks for watching.

Did you not get a refund for fuel not used?

Great video about Quartet No3. Both the wife and I had that same boat 3 years ago and thought the same about the front cabin and washroom. Did you have any issues with the sliding canopy as it was unusable when we had the boat.

@andybltt Жыл бұрын

The canopy was OK for us so they must have fixed it. Thanks for watching. 👍

Not a very good thing to 3 point turn and it takes longer you could have easily reversed,as you had bow thrusters .i have done it without thrusters . But that aside hope you all had a great time .

I left it to our on board boating expert, so I’ll claim no responsibility for any 3pt turn antics. 😊
