Straightpoint supplied load cells to help weigh two historic boats at the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust, a charitable property company responsible for the conservation and re-use of buildings at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
Straightpoint's Radiolink Plus load cells were used to weigh two boats: the Green Parrot, a 45-ft picket boat that had been used by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as her Royal Barge during state visits to Portsmouth, as well as an ST-1502, a 41 1/2 ft Seaplane Tender, that was armed and fitted out for Air Sea Rescue duties in the English Channel during WWII, including an onboard hospital.
Richard Hellyer, a volunteer from the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust, said: "Primarily we needed to know exactly how much these two boats weighed so they could be safely lifted or transported by road. In addition, we put new engines and new propellers into the Green Parrot, so we needed all the correct measurements and weights to fit the right propeller."
Hellyer added: "We chose Straightpoint as they had been recommended to us, plus we wanted to use a company who could help carry out the procedure for us. Their product worked very well."
