Hi IR,

Good luck on your adventure, sounds like fantastic fun.

Those brooms have a reputation as good sea boats, although you only ever come across them on rivers. Built like tanks, and keep their value for decades.

Which engine do you have, and what cruise speed will that give you to cross the Irish Sea?

PS : does it have a low window in the transom?
