I’m with GJW, my premium actually dropped this year, just under £1,600.00, with similar boat.

I’m told , come July 2024, all Italian berth leases will be ending, similar to what France did not long ago, anybody more info ?

I’ve used a few companies up & down the French/Italian coast and the cheapest was Monaco Marine in st Laurent du var and they will let you work on your own boat, if it’s moved to different part of their yard.

You’ve not seen the size of my engine room fan ! On the few occasions I’ve had to go into the engine room when running, the heat was unbearable, from experience, after fitting a large fan, it has drastically reduced the engine room temp. ohh……and principal or whatever is how spellcheck rights it 🤣

Not sure you’re getting this……….if the air temp in the engine room is lower the engine will receive cooler air, the inter cooler will only reduce temp from a set point to another set point, depending on how efficient the inter cooler is, ………..if air goes into the engine @ 40 deg the inter cooler...

Your engine room must get unbearably hot……I’ve installed an extra huge fan to move air around……engines don’t like hot air !

My parents, I was a bit young, used to water ski from the locks @ Naburn, until the speed limit Was introduced.

Take your pick

Yep we all like different things, I stopped looking at Portofino 47’s because they didn’t have a garage, its In the top 3 must haves for me, don’t get me going about the scaffolding on the back of boats……looks just as much out of place as a tender sat there………and if reversing badly into a berth...

Porto…….But this looks far better to my eyes

Same, I paid for the survey and a lift out to check the stern gear and hull.

My pet hate, seeing tenders strapped to the back of a boat as an afterthought .

Was in Cannes a few weeks ago…..

Far too windy to be on the sea for us today.
