Ash - and remote control steering!
21st March 2024
With remote control systems becoming a frequent part of our everyday lives, doesn't it make sense for these to transfer into the boating world!?
When travelling through locks, especially when single crewed or the gates are particularly heavy for one person, there's sometimes a need for everyone to get off the boat, leaving it unmanned.
This isn't usually problematic but, once in a while, boats can be found drifting aimlessly on the river or just out of reach of their frantic owners, having been left unmanned for only a moment.
With this ultimate remote control device, (as demonstrated beautifully by Darren) any fears of a drifting boat can be put to rest, and just like a model plane or boat, a narrowboat can be manoeuvred safely back to the owner! (as long as you turn the isolator on!)
If considering having your own boat built and would like to discuss a remote control system, you can call Chris Williams direct on 07963974793 or email chris@ovationboats.co.uk.
Ash is ready to go!
