Chugging through the Narrows
I took this the other day just before Autherley junction, no apologies I just enjoy listening to the engine.
We have spent the day in Brewood just resting up and sitting out the high winds and rain, however as I type this at 11am it is sunny but very windy with quite a few boats on the move.
I have been trying to establish cruising RPM.... other than counting I might have to get some form of marker on the output shaft to the large pulley wheel.

There's only one word for that video Nev...
NICE :)
What a wonderful noise
I'm guessing maybe 180rpm ( 3 beasts a second)

Kev, thanks for the comment.

I make it 4.5 beats per second, which is 270 per minute so, for a four-stroke engine and two cylinders, that would be 270 rpm. What a lovely sound!
