Best part of an hour later we parted company having covered, boat builders, propellers, loo's, paint, each others cruising plans and watched the shenanigans of Hotel Boats OAK and ASH turning around, spraying all an sundry with his prop wash and shouting instructions at his hapless crew, quite entertaining really..
It was lovely to meet the Hadar crew and the advice on 'compensated' propellers they gave me is being followed up; thank you folks, until next time.....

Talking props...there is a company in UK, Propeller Solutions. They have designed the Powerstop propeller (in association with Powertech Propellers) specifically to improve the stopping performance and manoeuvrability of large displacement craft i.e Narrowboats. I have met this chap a few times at a marine trade show in Amsterdam (METS) Doesn't hurt to name drop..His name is Thomas 01258 858784. Use my name Paul Macey from All Marine Spares In Sydney, I know he is trying to get into the Narrow boat market.

Hi Paul
We met Thomas at the Crick show and had a chat with him. The new boat is going to require a 20:20 prop we believe and Powerstop had only just done their initial casting at this size. We are going speak to them again however (we took his card) and we will mention your name so thank you kindly!

I've yet to hear any positive things about Oak and Ash - we haven't been impressed on our few wncounters with them.

We have not encountered Oak and Ash but the reputation goes before them..
