Completed survey. I don't think it will make a blind bit of difference. I do wonder what the size of the uk market is for the 4.5kg bottles, these coukd all be potential Flogas or Camping Gaz new customers. I suppose Calor Gas don't care.

Thanks for posting such an interesting video. I have visited most of those places, in 2019 in very hot weather with no wind en route to Medemblik about 65,000 milion bilion flies descended on the boat. Dreadful things, they seemed to disperse once we approached land but left behind were...

Sailing Steve, you said you are in The Twizzle. Next time you are passing Halls Yard have a look at the green rig evacuation vessel in there. I spoke to the owner the other day when he was painting his hull below the waterline with blue Cuprinol shed and fence paint. I asked him how come, and he...

I have read this post and it seems pretty gloomy. I haven't seen any mention of reciprocal arrangements for medical treatment post UK leaving the eu. I read somewhere that the intention was to retain the EHIC card scheme for uk visitors to the eu and vice versa. This seems sensible and I can't...

I fitted the Aquasignal 34 combined tricolour and anchor light about 7 years ago. It is a great light with one problem. There is a white multi block inside the base which the light "plugs" into. This has mild steel screws that are prone to corrosion. Make sure they get a good dollop of thick...

1988 Sadler 34, so 34 years old this year. Plenty of work and upgrades made to it, plenty on going and I'm sure plenty more to come - there's always something! Owned for 10 years , taken me to The Baltic, Germany, Holland and more to come. I would attach a photo but all of mine are too big for...

I am a 290 mile traveller to my boat (North West to W o t Naze) so day trips are out of the question. The trip can be as short as 4.5hrs or as long as 9 hrs depending on traffic conditions and roadworks on A14 and M6 so I tend to visit for a week to 10 days every month. I had intended to move...

Congratulations on taking over Hageso. He was well known in the Walton area. You should say where you are keeping her. I'm in Halls yard at present - Islander.

I'm at Walton and I use Mark Self of Advantage Sails. He is very good and reasonably priced. He is based at Brightlingsea and trained at Dolphoin Sails. He frequently travels to Titchmarsh and Walton, Halls yard and Bedwells. He has repaired my sprayhood, made me a new fully battened main and...

Allan, I see you are in Bristol. I have used Avon Stainless several times in the past and have had excellent service and quality products. I particularly liked the stainless ratchet strap things. They must be about 7 or 8 years old now retaining my calorifier in cockpit locker and still look...

Daydream Believer, have a look at Nestaway Boats, they now do a folding rib. I looked at them at SIBS 2019 and it was impressive. It was also fairly distinctive in looks with various accessories. They do a package with engine. I thought it was quite expensive but maybe if you have a new...

I know a rigger from Portsmouth (Portchester SC) who has worked on some serious boats (Hugo Boss and Pip Hare's boat) and would probably be able to assist. I'll PM you his number - worth a phone call.

My boat is 300 miles from my home and has been for 10 years. I visit (pre covid) at least once a month winter and summer and stay at least a week each visit. I always sleep aboard. I have no problems with regards to this from my boatyard and I think they recognise that I am an extra layer of...

Getting back to scissors, Screwfix have some excellent electricians scissors for £14.99 code 96347 brand CK. They are 140mm long. I would post a photo but they are all too large - meaning file size and I can't get round that. Andy

If you PM me with a phone number, I might be able to assist. Andy
