Sunset Cruise (Chug)
« on: June 21, 2025, 07:23:40 PM »
We were on holiday in Istria and for her birthday Pauline wanted to go on a sunset cruise. We looked at what was on offer and decided on a 1960 wooden boat. We climbed on board, the skipper cranked the two cylinder diesel and off we chugged.

There are provisions to hand start the "Thumper" Yanmar 1gm10 in my boat....3" bore and stroke....good thing is also has a compression relief!

Looks like fun Roger!

Very nice boat.
This is the one I would like to have, just to chug around in.
