A brief video of the beautiful Steam Launch Helen that I rebuilt and launched for a customer a few days ago. The boat has undergone a total rebuild, and this was the first time she ran under her own steam. Her home water will be Windermere, but look forward to seeing her used all over the UK I years to come. The engine is a Stuart Turner 6A, rebuilt using my own design of valve rods, pistons, cylinder covers, crossheads and re-machined valve faces to incorporate a relieved area to negate wear on the slide valves.
