Thinking of an AIS installation and I'm looking at em trak with built in wifi....and the digital yacht ait2000 with a wireless gateway which allows the data to transfer to my ipad running the digital yacht Navlink software. Anyone any experience with either em trak or navlink please? Currently...

Yes, I fear I may have to drive to clacton to get a programme......

Anyone got any idea of the display timings please?

I have a 2005 anniversary Dufour 34 performance. This one is a shallow cast iron keel version with the shorter mast. They also produced a version with deep lead keel and taller racing rig. All sail handling is harken, cockpit floor mount with a traveller. Wheel steer only. I agree there were...

To run an alternative date needs all those people who have committed to help, to be available -and I for one have plans of my own once I've spent a week and more on Regatta and Mersea Week!

Quite like SYH but really do not much like berthing with a big breeze. Had a few problems there so we use Shotley so we can see "fairyland" at night! Or Wolverstone . good walks from both. Wish Shotley would increase their shower /toilet facilities tho. One small block or a long walk -need to...

very good so far thanks, its a shame we are now down to two Stellas, both acquitting themselves well tho. Just the one cruising boat through the line yesterday......actually seems rather quiet on the water other than the racers

Its that time again and I'm pleased to say so far so good. However can I make a plea for sailors to be aware of the start area and line? On Sunday four boats ambled through the cruiser line and yesterday one came through the line, then turned round and proceeded back through it just as we were...
