Surely the case is that the boat was carrying more than it had a cert. for. Just because you are asked to do something, or pressured in to it there is no excuse to break the rules. These people were not evacuees from Dunkirk. It was a profit making exercise and as such he should have abided by...

I fitted one two years ago. It works fine, but, I some times feel that there is a lag in the time it takes to show a increase or decrease in the wind speed. Maybe its just me or the difference between the wind at the masthead and deck level. Haven't worked it out yet. Still tend to look at the...

I think that perhaps the absence of suggestions is a indication of the state of yacht surveying in Dublin and Ireland. Most surveyors I have used have told me very little I didn't know already, and I consider the survey just a formality for insurance cover. I have used a few and I basically get...

Great boat you have there. As I recall They were a Billy Brown Design built originally by Shorts in Belfast. B J Marine later took over the moulds and produced some, so if you contact Bernard Gallagher at B J Marine he may know a supplier I think the moulds then went to somewhere in Kerry where...

Hi guys just me making a appearance at the end of the thread (I've been busy sanding my bottom:D). Firstly no offense was intended to any individual on the Forum by my use if the word "Idiot". I meant it in the sense of stupid behavior by those who you would think should know better. The day in...
