Hello Fellow masters,
hope I'm posting this in the right place
I'm very new to the boating I recently purchased my self a Pandora yacht with the sales removed and looking to attach a relevant outboard.
i took over the boat from a old friend it has been currently out of the water and I've been working on it tidying it up making it look the part, (looking quite well) I've never been on the water apart from ferry's, jet skis, and holiday adventures etc, i did a brief stint for the local RNLI many many years back so i know safety is paramount, the boat is situated currently on the river Ancholme,, im going to be looking to do some kind of skipper course and also sticking to the river for a bit of time to get used to it and get a taste for it, i see before entering the river Humber i don't really have any intentions of actually going out to sea i think the furthest i will look to go is spurn point hook up chill for a bit return kind day thing, obviously as time goes on and i learn more i may get the bug to want to go further afield but sticking to the Ancholme river for some time then venturing out in to the Humber..
ive no real idea where i need to start or what i need to-do so all help advice criticism is welcome, safety including all relevant kit will be on board before even firing her up again any suggestions on equipment and outboards I'm open too. id also be happy to relocate the boat so I'm on the Humber if i could find an nice spot that has spaces etc but that will all come in time, ive done some reading and studying and i see at the exit of the Ancholme river in to the Humber there seems to be some sort of lock just from google images nothing I've drove to (as of yet but i will do)
so yeah if you can advise criticise lol i would be looking to take all helpful info and advice onboard, and look forward to sharing my journey with you all.
main reason for all this is i have disabled 4 year old daughter who cannot do a lot at all and its something i think she will enjoy with motion fresh air etc
kind regards Gary
