Mine is up for sale if you fancy it? http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2008/Robertson-And-Caine-Leopard-46-2240491/Zadar/Croatia 46ft long 25ft wide, sails flat, has a flybridge helm, cockpit similar to a FB mobo, patio doors, 3lts per hour when on 1 engine, plus all the goodies you would get on...

It ok for you guys with these thruster thingies. You try Med mooring a 46ft long 25ft wide cat with 20knots blowing across the gap and having no thrusters at all. As far as leaving the helm, you must be joking until the two stern lines are on. Thats why I say they are a must have. I suppose with...

Stick up a couple of colour CCTV cameras and display on the E120 with split screen. If positioned correctly you should see the whole of the dive platform and beyond. A must for Med mooring in my opinion and will cost around £75ea for the cameras which plug straight into the back of the the E...

Having been recently looking at 2/3 year old 50ft FB's we are still undecided about which layout is best for us. We have so far looked at the Sealine T50, Princess 50, Manhattan 50 and Azimut 50 but have been overall disappointed with the mid-cabin layouts (FL P50 still to see). Yes, there is a...

Thanks very much PYB and CMJ for your feedback. CMJ, I think we must be alike in some ways as I also appreciate being a bit different from the crowd and can see perfectly why you would buy an Az 50 in the UK. The AZ 50 next to me in our marina was a 2005 boat but it was immaculate in every way...

My only thoughts were that we will be buying probably in the Aegean and possibly selling there again in years to come so why write them all off? I agree, if I was in the UK it would be better to stick to the big British 4 but Italian/Austrian/Croatian buyers in the Aegean possibly wouldn't value...

Thanks for the info on the engine service rates. The other boats I was trying to find out about specifically are the following if anyone can help:- Azimut 50 Cranchi Atlantique 50 Carnelvali C160 Della Pasqua DC16 Intermare 50 Asmarine 50 Rafaelli 50 Astondoa Ferretti 460 We had an Azimut...

I second Pollenca and you can just about get anything you need in town as well. It's amazing I just had a look at Hurricane's link as he is near enough on the same mooring ball as we were on in March this year when we got hit by 67 knot winds!! There were only two boats out there then, ours as...

Thanks for your replies guys and thanks for the invite to see your Phantom. If anyone has any info on rough annual servicing costs on the engines mentioned or the other Italian boats it would be appreciated. Cheers

Before we start, yes I'm currently a raggie looking at possibly converting over to a mobo!! I say the term raggie quite loosly because people like us are even shunned by most of the general raggie brigade as I currently own a multi. We have a 46ft catamaran which is also 25ft wide that we...

We've had one fitted for the last 18 months. Outputs are as follows: - 8 knots wind 3A 10 = 5A 15 = 10A 20 = 14A 25 = 15A We are very pleased generally. Ours does need to go back for repair after we got caught in 67 knots of wind in Mallorca in March. The internal brake I think has broken as it...

All of the low cost airlines are as bad as each other and I can regail you with numerous stories with all of them which over the last 6 months alone has cost us around £600. Our trouble is that we live in Devon and we basically have no option but use low cost airlines from regional airports or...

In my opinion do NOT go near Smir. We left our Cat there for Jan and Feb this year and got back to huge amount of damage down one side. The marina management and staff do not have a clue about looking after boats and their overall atitude stinks. See my report here...

We carry 6off 20L plastic containers. They are quite thick plastic, the sort that you see chemicals delivered in. We use pieces of supermarket bags as a gasket and they haven't leaked yet. As far as getting it into your tanks we use a 4ft length of 3/4" pipe and syphon it. The easiest way we...

Hi mate The trip up from the Canaries via Madeira was a "bit on the bouncy" side back in December but the next leg earlier this month to Mallorca was something else! We are staying put in Croatia now for 12 months then maybe 6 months in Turkey before heading back to the Canaries for the pond...
