I was kindly invited aboard NB Tranquility to see its one-of-a-kind (on the canals) electric propulsion system as well as the many other technical features of this intriguing boat.

David,
We are open water boaters and enjoy your programs.
I am a marine canvas engineer and I make boat canvas products. we would love to see you show how boat covers are made on your side of the pond. Keep the programs coming and best wishes.
Hi, I already covered that topic when I had a new cratch cover made for Wreyland at the end of 2020. Cheers
Very interesting this, it’s a scaled down aquamaster unit. I work on these sometimes at work & they have there advantages for the shipbuilder, in that in does away with the shaftline, sterntube & rudder, & if its electrically driven, alignment also. The motors are normally inboard & drive through bevel gears allowing a smaller underwater casing. The only disadvantage i can see for canal applications is the propeller is vulnerable to damage compared to a conventional set up, no skeg or rudderTo offer protection.
I maybe wrong, but i think this was filmed on the lower peak forest canal near ashton junction & portland basin
Hi, there is a skeg so the underneath is protected. Correct on the location!
