Hey Kingsley, great video of the SBA Trent Rally! I'm curioius - how many boats were in attendence, how many people?

Also, I really like the tone of the steam whistle on the boat you are filming from. Can you provide size & type of whistle your boat has? It seems to blow a very clear tone, hardly no "spit or splatter".......how do you get that?

Mack,

There is a brief report of the Rally here.

A short clip of the whistle in use can be found at the end of this other video (from 4mins 42 secs):



We always warm the whistle before use by holding the valve just open so that a small flow of steam passes through the whistle body without actually sounding it.

Thanks Kingsley, great video clip - hope to have a rally here in Western Texas some day in the near future. What are the specs on you whistle?
