    Raystar 125 wrong year

    Hi. I am unsure if this has been asked before but my C80 now shows the date as 29 August 2003 and I think it was fine a few months ago. Is this the rollover which these older units do not support? It seems that the time and position data are all ok. I have an ais transponder which has an option...

    Thinking about the transition from Sail to Motor - advice sought

    As age takes its toll on the physical effort with sailing, I have been giving some thought to moving to a semi-displacement motor boat. As I do a fair amount of short handed sailing, one criteria I have been looking for is easy access to the side decks when mooring. So far, the only boats I have...

    Plastimo cool'n dry vent button stuck

    I wonder if anyone can shed light on why the central button will not open the vent? I have looked at both my vents and can't work out how the central button works to latch the vent open. I seem to remember that there are 2 clips held together by a rubber ring that would release an open vent by...

    Reeds Updates?

    Has anyone managed to get the January updates for the 2022 Almanac (Channel)? I emailed Bloomsbury in December as they instructed to get 'on the distribution list' . Nothing yet - and I have also emailed them again 10 days ago with a nudge to see what is happening. It seems that they have to do...

    Insta-Lock vs Weaver Snap Davits?

    I saw an older thread where the nature of having a 'fixed' protrusion from the transom caused serious injury. I need something like this as a solution when sailing in 'calmer' and less windy conditions and see that Polymarine do a quick release option for the bracket arms that only leaves a...

    Radio Check, Radio Check - AIS Check......

    Following on from the many threads of the airwaves being congested (particularly on a nice weekend morning), suitable advice has been given to encourage the use of the NCI instead of the Coastguard for radio checks. I see in YM that the poor souls at the NCI are now potentially going to be...

    BBC Weather forecasts - oh dear.

    Just looking at the new BBC weather App (and web site) which shows wind speeds at Brixham at 13:00 of 51 mph. Metoffice show 16 gusting to 30 and interestingly the BBC main web site, when you go to the large page overview shows the steady wind speed at 19 which is about right. Even Meteo Consult...

    AIS Safety - have Sunsail entered the Super Yacht market?

    Whilst moving my boat from the East Coast to the West Country a couple of weeks ago, we noticed on our plotter a Sunsail yacht with a reported length of 134 feet! Amazing that a commercial company can have AIS transponders with inaccurate data. However, what happens at night? If a yacht is...

    Brixham/Torquay & Winter afloat?

    Hi. I am considering the options for a year in the West Country (or perhaps longer) and am looking at present to a base at, perhaps, Brixham. Any further West makes the journey from East Anglia too long,. I usually stay afloat at my present marina all year round with a lift/antifoul early...
