Based in London, you can always try Sussex YC in Shoreham, Brighton Marina YC or Sovereign Harbour YC in Eastbourne. The racing at each is different in abilities and scale. Brighton run an intro to racing course on Saturdays that (I am informed) is very popular and useful. Generally though...

Not frequenting these forums so often these days ... I'm probably a little late to chip in my 2p worth. Main differences I have seen between mk1 and mk 2 is the layout of the cockpit and possibly some of the internal fitting out. Mk1 seems to have main sheet across middle of the cockpit to...

Duct Tape glue removal Gentle rubbing with White Spirit on a paper towel, always works for me. Probably not the quickest method, but I always have some white spirit somewhere to hand. Jeff.

I know this is going to sound like a daft question... ... but ... My understanding of these type of packages where you can import your own images as charts is that you need to introduce/register them with the package (ie give it reference points on the chart so it know the lat/long and scale...

So it is .. a new site on me. Cheers, Jeff.

A spinnaker on a 24 footer is going to be reasonably small, and the snuffer equipment itself disproportionately large and heavy. Most of the issues with getting a spinnaker up can be avoided through setting it up right in the first place and having the process clear in your head. Something you...

I also had a keyway cut into the shaft and coupling to prevent this happening, as it looked like the shaft was starting to slip/spin. There was only so much torque I could put into the bolts pulling the clamp together. Its been fine ever since. I am not sure that you should "plan" for the...

Sorry abot the delay The holes on the bottom of "C" were plain, those on the top were threaded. The "C" are placed on the engine bed thus: ] [ The brackets would seem to have suited a number of engines, there were more holes than we required. The Centurion 32 site isn't mine (I don't speak...

conversion plates We have recently done a MD5B to D1-13(+130S) conversion. The "converters" we were supplied were much shorter than those depicted in the pdf file being affectively a couple of "C" shaped pieces with holes and threaded holes as necessary. Like you I see no obvious location for...

Re: Readers Boats.... At last, a picture of my partners boat: Minos, Oyster 26, 1980. Bought this year! Jeff.

[ QUOTE ] Concentrate, concentrate; look at the jib? More like a hypnotic stare [/ QUOTE ] The only way once you've tweaked and maximised you VMG is to focus only on the tell-tales. Failure to do so will see you miss a lift or header and lose ground. I presume that if you're this intent...

Congratulations on the new arrivals. Just a thought (and bearing in mind that I don't know what the inside of an RM880 looks like), but I have seem pictures where one yacht owner turn a saloon double berth (which was created using the drop down table) into an enormous play pen. Seemed to work...

About 2.5 miles, takes about 35 mins to walk or 10 mins using the car. That's town roads for you.

Ditto for me .. as for mark shapes I simply remember that "Coke comes in Red Cans". Jeff.
