If you were considering a July trip from southern Cornwall to West Coast of Scotland, s/h delivery for a summer family holiday once there, 32 ft sailing yacht…. …how would you break up the passages?

Picked up a couple of new PLBs at SIBS yesterday. What’s the deal for old ones and disposal? Have some McMurdo Fast Finds that are a few years past their date. Is there a mechanism for deregistering and safe disposal? Not sure about just throwing them in the electrical waste at the tip!

When I've planned and activated a route on the laptop in OpenCPN, is it possible to send it out onto the NMEA 2000 bus so that the plotter, MFD and autopilot pick it up? I've played with an Actisense NGT gateway but I can't see that it converts route data

Hi folks. Looking to add a short sprit from my bow fitting projecting about 12" . It will take the tack of a 50sqm code zero on a 32' boat. Any ideas what diameter / thickness stainless tube would be up to the task?

Heading to S Brittany this summer and seeking a recommendation. Where would be a good place to interrupt the boys trip (!) for a few days for a visit from largely non- sailing wife and daughter. Has to be alongside pontoon, decent facilities and nice shops/cafés within walking distance...

Okay, we are 32ft... started going cross channel in 2013 in our own boat (done lots in other people's) and had 3 out of 4 crossings in thick fog! Have a Garmin chartplotter, linked to DSC and AIS receiver. Limited budget but want to be as visible as possible to shipping. Which would be...

I wondered if anyone had found a cure or prevention for vertigo like feelings following a sailing trip, once back on land? I have sailed for many years now, but since sailing in larger vessels I have suffered from acute dizziness following a trip, even when the water has seemed almost flat. I...

Have a new (to me) boat with a TMC heads. Pumps out fine, but getting no suction to draw in raw water to flush. Before I start taking the pump apart, any suggestions as to what to look for. There is definately a supply of water! Cheers all

A couple of years ago at SIBS I bought a black storage net which had a shockcord top and a black 5mm round metal (coated with plastic) wire surround on the other three sides... best I can explain it. Does anyone know of a supplier of such things? IIRC it was one of the chandlers near the big...

Hi folks Pic below. Anyone familiar with the Vetus fitting pictured here and can explain to me (in very simply terms!!!) how it functions?

Any recommendations based on experience for the best two pack (I presume) varnish to use to overcoat a west-system epoxied wooden tiller? Cheers

Is it possible to buy paint in the yanmar grey online anywhere? Can't find it. Failing that - has anyone used something similar that gives a good colour match?

Tiller pilot came with boat. Can't work out from Raymarine manuals which model it is. The case says ST1000. On start up the LCD screen displays 800 before showing the course. Did the 800 have an LCD screen? As far as I can see from the manuals, the ST1000 can steer to a wind course, or...

VGC, little used - speed, depth and temp display. Can supply with new speed/temp transducer but needs depth transducer (c £50) or can be used as a repeater for an existing sea talk system. Only £120. New about £350!

ST60 Tridata. Came with my new boat but rest of instruments were Simrad so I have standardised on that. Little used, very slight scratch on screen - working fine otherwise. £120 ono? Offers around £120?

Anyone know where I can get a small diesel tank? Ideally plastic, rectangular and with a screw filler cap so I can mount it in the lazarette and fill it directly. Had a look around and it seems 30 litres is the smallest. I want about half that size ideally.

Love my plotter but just a quick question re: either my lack of ability to understand the manual or an annoying lack of functionality. On my old Garmin 12, when I looked at a route, I could see the cummulative ETAs for each waypoint to give a rough idea of the final arrival time. On the...

Hi folks - trying to service my Enkes self tailers... the English version of the web shop doesn't work. The Dutch version appears to have a webshop (amusingly named webwinkel) http://www.enkeswinches.com/webshopnl/index.html but it does not appear to be secure and I can't understand it...
