    What happened to Pete from Tally Ho?

    Pete already had a successful shipwright's business in Port Townsend if I remember correctly. I suspect he saw the direction Tally Ho was taking and decided to return to doing his own thing.

    Reluctant crook…

    The question doesn't arise if the boat is taken out of the equation. In a similar situation if you were parked elsewhere you wouldn't have the thought process about using red, you would just go to the filling station and fill up.

    I use Comma brand 15/40. Available from almost every motor factor. Oil change every autumn or ~100 hours

    In my day amendments were published on the website as soon as the graphics or narrative became available.

    Air pockets coming from stuffing box

    Did mine yesterday. Its a messy job and really quite difficult to pack the grease into the greaser. It would be difficult to pack without getting air in the mix. Just ignore the air bubbles.

    I sail in Scotland where the wind is always on the nose 🙄

    Gori Folding Prop - usage advice?

    +1 to all Concerto has said, except I use Trilux on mine. No fouling. Boat is in the water 6 months and I've never had an issue with the blades not opening. They just work, mine will be 17 years old this coming season. Never had to remove it from the boat.

    Flexiteek problems

    They are the retailer. My understanding is they have to rectify any defects. Dependant on amount paid I would write and am then to put the issue right and if no satisfaction small claims court.

    Doubling DC wiring - but not all the way

    Be really interesting to find out what is being powered at the business end and how long it would run continuously. Windlass?

    Flexiteek problems

    Who did you pay the invoice to? That's who you have to pursue for satisfaction.

    Bavaria 32 Genoa

    I'm fairly sure that Kev Aitken in Helensburgh is the Hyde agent. He will measure sails for you.
