Why? Just saw a photo of a (new?)30 ft Beneteau with twin wheels and open transom that you be standing very close to when steering. Whats wrong with a tiller on a boat like that? - thinking ’RM1050‘...

I’m puzzled. If you bought a VAT paid boat a few years ago anywhere in EU and now want to bring it back to Britain our need to pay VAT again? Or an import tax? I thought it was a principle of taxation that you couldn’t be taxed twice for the same thing?

From Farce-boak... Best you do your own homework on this. The Scottish Government has clarified the position on overnight wild camping which is applicable in its interpretation for overnight at anchor on a boat. Our understanding is that wild camping and consequently staying overnight aboard...

Does anyone have a sketch /photos or description of the route for the heater ducting? I can’t work out how to run it and need to be 100% sure before breaking out the hole saw....

Reading another post on here giving a general prediction of Scottish west coast weather over the main sailing months brought back a couple of memories of two very contrasting seasons that show just how unforecastable the weather here can be. The first was my second season of boat ownership...

Any overheating gurus out there? my new to me 2005 MD2030D starts and runs beautifully with no smoke, no water in the oil and no oil in the water. After between 15- 45 minutes the coolant starts squirting out the header tank overflow shortly followed by the over heat alarm. So far I’ve...
