Re: Prop-o-Drev antifoul..mixed feelings I think it depends on your prop wear and priorities. We had 2x205 petrol Volvo DPs, previous ?MTX had been no good re fouling. P-o-D was definitely faster (or more economical - take your choice) and did not weed up to the same extent. So far so good...

Re: Yup Agree KevB beamier than SS's racerstyle hull. Been out on a trial of a Matinique 39 which ? had the KAD42s and felt a bit sluggish onto the plane. I wouldn't have wanted eg an earlier 36 with the 200's. I think they said it would max at 36 kt but it didn't feel like it would to me...

Agreed Britemp jfm's Beemer with all the leccy control will give a bit more economy(or power which I think he may find more interesting) running on a real 98 RON as compared with standard 95 RON. Not sure if it has a knock sensor etc but may well retard the ignition on the inferior stuff <hr...

Not surprised I think one has to be a British citizen (or of dependencies etc) on a registered boat to fly the blue. Italians certainly can't do it legally methinks One hurrah for the Commander Healy ?? <hr width=100% size=1>

Excellent on 2 counts 1:- You had considered it 2:- Princess, at least, are listening to common sense. Agree with later poster - one sexy radar arch <hr width=100% size=1>

<<Have I missed anything?>> Well not strictly electronic but have you considered jacking the radar scanner up plinth/metal tube/whatever? Although I'm a Princess fan and I'm now not worried about low scanners frying my one neurone or two eyes (see various previous posts on radiation) I do...

PS I suggest you also always check www.micheldever.co.uk as they have always been known in the past as being cheapest for specialist/expensive types of tyres. It was written up in Autocar that it was well worth them driving down from London to get them there. I always do but haven't compared...

Yep I'm surprised no NM as they've been there ( well N E S and W a bit) for 3 weeks or so. Also, I agree their yellow buoys are not easy to spot when the tide is running. Luckily for us, the first time we saw it was at slack but last W/E despite knowing it was there we didn't see any of the...

Not specific enough IMHO can be anything from a composite of GRP with aluminium honeycomb between the layers up to full carbon fibre and plastic thing baked in an oven like an F1 car so it rather depends <hr width=100% size=1>

Re: Ha ha ha ha Excellent ! I am definitely laughing with you not at you - cheered me up no end. At least the reference to Decca shows that you were very young at the time. <hr width=100% size=1>

Re: EXCUSE ME Am I reading this right or are you really looking forward to the dental repair work? <<H1 added a little>>.............LITTLE ????? <<lighthearted banter>>.........how about rude offensive inability to accept that anybody else knew anything? <<liven the place up a bit>>....God...

At least it's not just me <<the look of the thing in profile) have been done disappointingly>> jfm I don't want one anyway so I doubt if Sealine care about my opinion but ever since I first saw it I thought it looks a bit odd in profile. Looked at the MBY test and piccies and the outside of...

<<No taxation without representation worked pretty well>> but vice versa is true as well. In the greek city states, only citizens who paid the taxes voted. The essence of democracy was ( note was ) the combination of power with responsibilty and having to pay for it, decided in a communal...

Re:Thank you kind sir but Greek forgotten - never did any, my humble apologies BTW - If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - don't exaggerate! <hr width=100% size=1>
