hehe Its like that the acceleration to about 45mph but its nice I wasn't even scared just choking on watching it...
Ruston diesels of a total of 28320 kW give a speed of 40 knots
It takes 2 hours from poole so its about 60 odd with the spray but I think the speed is : Ruston diesels of a total of 28320 kW give a speed of 40 knots

Hellfire, although not an uncommon sight on the south coast, Brittany Ferries' vessel 'Barleur' likes to give it some on leaving Poole harbour

Do they now ? When I saw the Brittany 1 it just plodded along , if I see another 1 I will have alook because a condor 1 with that much clag is quite rare...

ah the Condor, I remember going on that! The last time I went to France the Brittany ferries vessel I was on fired its engines up and the cloud of black smoke that erupted from the stack was pretty cool. The smoke it produced during the journey was not however.

Will be doing the first start up this year of Grandad's boat in a couple of weeks, that'll produce some pretty claggy smoke

When we spent a while in germany , you could often find barges with Sulzer 6LDA engines that of a Rat. What more do you want sunny weather, 218s, 232s and in effect rats.

I was at Cowes a few weeks ago watching the Red Jet leave, and once clear of the harbour that opened up and gave a fair bit of clag. I'd went over on the Fast Cat from Portsmouth, but being inside (as you have to be) I couldn't tell if it was claggy, but it sounded good, and accelerated nicely aswell. On the subject of other transport clag, I'm quite often around East Midlands Airport, and that gets a lot of cargo flights with older planes, and when taking off they can clag quite nicely aswell, particularly the old Russian stuff (Antonovs and Ilyushins).

Heathrow Used to get abit of clag sadly all the new aircraft like A330 and 340 and 320 and 777 (my favourite : 777) the older 747s still do clag but not much all the airbuses are in and out all the time.. *sigh*

45mph

PMSL

a ferry like that cant do 45mph, nor can the P&O ferries...

And that ferry does look like its on fire!

Also, the meaning of clag.

Clag:-

A word founded in the steam TRAIN era. Used to describe the amount of exhaust coming from the steam TRAINS.

Thus concludes, only trains can clag and anything else is just heavy exhaust.

Of course, you comming nath?

course not, its 45 Knots!

and that is just about 40 mph (its a bit here and there but I'm not pedantic enough to calculate it EXACTLY for you)

I just looked up the ship specs

They really can do over 40 Knots!!!


And no, one of those giant bath toys could never do 45...
