Satellite

Originally intended GUCCC pairing with motor 87, Star.

Sold by BWB in early 1970s and converted, it was shortened to 60' and motorised. Armstrong Siddeley 3 cyl engine installed in 1996. (Previously the engine was a 2cyl version).

The stern of the original butty exists as the bow section of another boat known as Ganymede.

Here is a YouTube clip of Satellite working through Glascote Locks on the Coventry canal in April 2018.
