Do I understand correctly what the boatyard said? - Trudesign seacocks have problems with frost - We've never heard of Trudesign...

Never hear of that one but my boat is in Greece and frost isn't going to be a huge problem versus my home in Scotland.:D I assume you...

My old Lodestar is an F1 car when compared with the Avon. I still remember a previous Avon with the outboard trying to drill the prop...

Pretty certain Diggers rust and stain remover is oxalic acid based. Oxalic acid will remove rust and brighten discoloured GDP but won't...
