I know I'm resurrecting an old thread but did you identify these?

Our boat came with 20m of chain and 20m of rope. We want 40m of chain so does anyone have either 40 metres or 20 metres of 8mm for a Lewmar winch?

We had someone out today who, after weighing up all the options agreed the sink has to come out. By feel he thinks the leak is from the jubilee clips on the hot pipe (which is furthest away naturally) The sink does look to be sikaflexed in, a very thin layer is visible. We're considering 2...

Behind the top plinth is the sink, sink waste pipe and gubbins for the gas hob. Below that is the drawer which we have taken out. That is just deep enough for my arm but my husband couldn't get his arm to the back. Between the sink and the hob there is a panel with a square cut out which I can...

We used to have one on permanent loan from our son but earlier this year he needed it back 🙄. I'm sure the only way will be to take the sink out and hope we don't damage either the sink or the surrounding surface. I have contacted the broker who supplied the boat in summer 2021 to see if this...

It is an Osculati tap but we can't get at the pipework. There is a shallow drawer under the sink which we've taken out and I can just get my arm through and my flat hand around the back through a hole in the cupboard. I can feel a drip but there isn't room to get any tools in.

After taking the drawer out which is under the sink I can just get my hand around a corner through a space and under the tap to feel there is a drip. There isn't room for my phone to take a photo

No

Our 895 has developed a leak from somewhere beneath the galley tap. It looks as though the sink has to come out to access the plumbing. There doesn't appear to be any fixings around the sink so presumably it's siliconed in. Before we start trying to remove it has anyone else had this problem?

I disagree. The advert is the first invitation to buy and to describe something as being in great condition if it requires remedial work is dishonest. It wastes everyone's time. If the boat needs work it should either be sorted out by the seller or made clear in the advert that some repairs are...

If this is the boat many of us have now searched for, then the owner and the broker are now aware of the previous damage, the advert doesn't appear to have changed. When we sold our last boat we were told by the broker that if any problems were found during survey then they would be obliged to...

I know. This was about 12 years ago with a husband and wife outfit. I too had assumed our money would be in a separate account, they obviously thought they'd get away with it for a while.

We sold our first boat through a broker, who's still going, who didn't want to pass on our money. We chased several times and they transferred small amounts with the excuse that their bank wouldn't allow them to transfer more, until I said I was going to go and sit in their office until they'd...

We viewed a boat in November which was advertised using library photo's. The broker, who hadn't seen the boat, was embarrassed by the state of it. It's still advertised using the same photo's. The one we viewed which involved a 4 hour drive each way was advertised using photos provided by the...
