What size is it, and what boat did it come off?

It did feel like the prop was fouled, but as I didn’t see anything so dismissed it, maybe took a while for the ambassador to eat it.

Probably about 1/2 a tank at that point

A few weeks back I was returning to my home marina in some let's say "lumpy conditions" wind was on the nose and I had some tidal gates I needed to make. Stuck the engine on and motorsailed for a couple of hours, then out of nowhere the revs dropped from 2200rpm to 2000rpm this lasted maybe 10...

I agree, it's a great improvement

Just wanted to share with this forum that I recently sailed to France, on check in I took all paperwork to the marina office, they didn't take anything out of the folder to check, not even passports let alone stamp them! Maybe I was lucky but I get the impression they are pleased to see uk...

We seem to be having more easterlies lately than I can remember for a long time, what's happened to our usual south westerlies? Easterlies give us east coasters very unpleasant conditions.

Seen this moored at dauntless on canvey island

lovely looking rear end of the yacht in the link! anyone recognise it?

Cant comment on the list of places you have mentioned, but I had significant work both GRP and new toe rail all done by Alan Goodfellow at Essex marina, I cannot fault his work he is a perfectionist, I would highly recommend.

Im 2.1m, you have to be careful and plan your tides, but for the most part the sailing outweighs the creek crawling!

Evening all, finally splashed my project after 2 years, question is do I polish the fuel, it’s been in the tank for nearly 3 years but looks fine? I can get a mobile fuel polisher in to do the job.

My favourite local race, always a good turn out. I hope to be there if I can splash in time.

Yes I think this is the best bet, I have the new end fitting, I will take it to the hose supplier and buy new hose and get them to fit the end fitting
