Agree with Dellquay13 - brilliant area, but a bit further west than maybe you are looking. I would suggest St Anthony in Meneage ( a bit further west still! ) as a good base which is reasonably priced and gives access to the Helford river. Cottages also available to rent - all low key here and...

Setting the tension varies depending on the type of rig you have - for example a fractional rig will need greater shroud tension. On this type of rig the cap shrouds will impart tension on the forestay. This link to the Selden website explains rig tensions for different types of rig under "Hints...

I get your point as I have a Yamaha two stroke with no drain plug on the carb. I run it dry but presume there will still be a small residue left. I am considering, before I put the engine way, running a bit of Aspen fuel through the system which should completely evaporate leaving no residue...

I like to use new 2 stroke fuel at the start of each season which means I have leftover fuel, which is normally E5 plus stabiliser, mixed with marine grade oil at 50:1. Can I use this in lawnmowers, strimmers, chainsaws etc ? I note Aspen fuel do not recommend using Aspen 2, which is ready...

Give coppercoat a call - in my experience, they have always been very helpful.

Have sent you a PM

Thanks both for your input.

Paul, I'm not very familiar with these - is the multi similar to the tridata but has the additional option for wind? Also the plugs on the rear shown in the handbook for the multi that you sent the link for, appear different to mine. Maybe I am just over thinking this!

Thanks - Is it otherwise the same - ie. would it work as a direct replacement. The screen has cracked on mine, still works ok but at a sensible price it would probably pay to replace it if possible

Thanks Paul

I'm trying to find a replacement for my ST60 Tridata - the model of mine is A22004 and I've seen another that looks exactly the same but is an A22013. Does anyone know if this is just a later upgrade or different unit?

There is a Dufour Association which may give you some clues - Dufour Association : The membership association for owners of Dufour Yachts

You may get better results posting this on the motor boat forum??

I think you will only require one! Recommended to me by a repair yard as that is what they use. Good luck:)

You don't say where you are based but you may be able to find a mobile blasting company that can do the job. In my experience that is a lot more successful than grinding. My boat was coppercoated several years ago and is still working but the keel needed redoing. On the advice from coppercoat, I...
