Well, I can hardly believe that I am having to break this news to you..........Pinky is back!!!! Sadly the RCB has suffered a problem with her engine cooling system and has gone back to the yard at headquarters to await repair. I am awaiting full details of the fault and solution from Dave and will update you in due course. In the meantime, welcome back Pinky!Update from Dave T:
The problems are nothing major just a number of small oil leaks on both engines and a small amount of coolant leaking from the cylinder head gasket on the inboard 'V' of each engine. I'm a bit confused by Haddock's post as from the outside you wouldn't know that anything was wrong! Both engines were totally overhauled at the refit so they are still under warranty, the firm that carried out the work came to station last week and decided that it would be best to take the boat to Poole to do the repairs rather than having her off service at station. They're starting the work on Mon 11th June and I hope to have her back by the end of that week if all goes to plan. DT

I suspect that RCB has been fine all along. This is just a plot device.

I watched the launch on Sunday and noticed things were not completely well !
I do hope you kept the original packaging and the till receipt for that engine.

Oh bless you!! Perhaps Pinky is staging a takeover bid?!
