Everybody, It's time for Jones He and a man that's
cuttin room flow on the cutting room floor. You like boats,
don't you?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Ah, I get seasick, but I have owned a boat
in the past.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
You had a boat, what was it?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
A small sailing boat when we live near the water
at one point yep, and it was great.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Harley is to race cars.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
And found the boat quite tricky because he'd think it
takes too long to make decisions.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
He was used to making instant decisions.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
You have to turn a corner after half an hour
before start making the moves.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Sailing is a bit like that. Harley didn't sail as
a youngster.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
No, well, he grew up in England.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
I just they sail in England, they do, but no
he didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I one of the I was never good at sport,
but I was good at sailing. I did enjoy it
when I was a youngster. I learned to sail when
I was nine years of age and I still sail
quite quite regularly. And I've always had a hand in boats.
And there's an odd saying the greatest moment of your
life is when you there's two great moments when you
be a boat owner, when you buy the boat, and
then when you sell the boat. Because they are the

(01:27):
biggest money pit.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
And stress pit the history of the world. They are
stress and is that what you've only got eate of them?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
And well, as my mate sailor Jerry says, the problem
with boats is they're fine until you put them in
the water. And he's a ship right, so he knows
only too well. I don't know if you saw that
image of the one point four million dollar yacht sinking
fifteen minutes after its maiden voyage.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Did you see that out of Titanic? What happened?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, I don't want to super yacht.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Is it massive?

Speaker 3 (01:56):
It was fairly big.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
It was, you know, I reckon probably about twenty meters long,
and how much it were one point four million dollars
and they've pushed it off as a chip straight over.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
And sid oh.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
So the minute it was launched it yeah, pretty much.
I thought it had a bit of a sailor around.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I don't know what happened there. It seemed to take.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
The Bungs out. They have bungs, don't they know.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
But they do have things called sea cocks.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
So they've got a sea cock that lets water inside
for the various plumbing in the boat, for your toilet,
for your engine cooling.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Little Dad used to have a little sailing but I
thought that had a bun in the back.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
What sort of sailing boat did Arthur have?

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Name? Some name some small ones?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Was a sailing boat?

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, it had a little.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Catamaround for a while, and then he got a small
sailing a single man's sailing boat.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah right, I'm sure there were Bungs.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Did have a venturi.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
A ventury works as the boat is moving, it opens
up and the water drains out and then it closes.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
This was years ago. It might have been before a
venturi was invented.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
No venturis have been around since the fourteen ships.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yeah, well, dad, was a long time before that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm intrigued about that.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, anyway, tell me what happened here?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
You think, Oh, it looks to me that they didn't
put enough ballot didn't always poorly designed and built to
top heavy, and it's fallen over.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Maybe you know what they did. Maybe the baliage thing.
Is that what it's called when you smash a bottle
of champagne against it to christen it. Maybe that unhinged
it somehow.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, I didn't see anyone cracking champagne over it, and
obviously not afterwards. Those things that they they're very gaudy,
those boats. It's a gaudy boat, very top heavy, gaudy.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
The chandeliers will do.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
That that that that can happen.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Is it a puny one?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, But you look at the history of boats, you know,
from the Titanic unsingable.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Don't call a boat unsingable. We learned that from from that.
All all the boats that have sunk in time.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
They're always fraught with stories of I guess cockiness. And
perhaps these people, as they pushed it off into the water,
thought that.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, but you'd be straight backed to the manufacturer, wouldn't you.
Come on? Mate? Come on mate, you don't bc iff
and fun.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I want my money back a boat and camp and fishing,
a mate, come on.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Sold me?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Is this because of the buns?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Is this what it is?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
But you've got to check your cock when you go
on out in the boat. No, that's why it's a thing.
Don't make anything of this. And there's two schools I thought.
Sailors they usually close up the sea cock because there's
a chance that that could fail and flood your boat
and sink, and the sea cock in this point cools
the engine down.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Stinkboat operators, if you've got what you need is an engine,
if you're just sailing.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
No, well you needed to get around. If you want
to do a little motor boating, so what you do.
And sailors they'll leave their sea cock closed.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
But what happens if you start the engine, the engine
is not cooling down, you burn out your impeller. Stinkboat
owners tend to leave their sea cocks open because of
the aforementioned burning out your impellers.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
And constantly using the motor, and constantly.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Using the motor. Very good that girl there, you've been
on the cock before.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Good boy.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Okay, kids, that's it for today.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Come back tomorrow for Marv Jonesy and Amanda's cutting room flow.
