Twiggy's transom gets a coat on CruisingTheCut

David Johns' project-boat repair shares the spotlight with a solar-powered Thames trip and a canal-day swap with Hannah Bodsworth.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

413. Slapping a bit of gelcoat onto my project boat's back end.

David Johns finally got past what he calls months of “painstaking procrastination” to coat Twiggy's rebuilt transom. The repair episode arrived before this upload-free week, but it remains CruisingTheCut's most active video, with gelcoat, flowcoat and a finish he jokingly compares to cellulite.

There are less workshop-bound ways into the back catalog, too. “412. A solar-powered boat tackles the River Thames.” follows David aboard DB1, an all-electric prototype whose sun-powered journey ran from Lechlade to London. “409. The glamour of London canal boating.” pairs a visit to Hannah Bodsworth's narrowboat on the River Lee with a return invitation to cruise countryside canals.

The channel added roughly 240,000 views over the week while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is now well below its usual pace. Nearby in the travel group, Wonderhussy Adventures is enjoying above-usual daily viewing, while Sam Holmes Sailing is quieter than normal. For David, the continuing activity centers on Twiggy's decidedly hands-on repair rather than a new voyage.
