I expect my auxilliary to perform very nicely. In fact I had a week at sea ploughing into some pretty harsh weather with a pair of 9hp.

I agree with you on this. It does annoy me that every post is about a monohull. Some users even promote there boat in their user names. Blatant advertising of monos everywhere in every post. Shameful isnt it.

Actually cost of ownership is small. Hardly any antifoul as hardly anything in the water. not excessivelly beamy so no extra mooring charges. No added lift out charges. Try www.adventurebaypowercats.com/pacificharmony.htm for a quality large powercat. Smaller good looking designs are possible.

Further to the publication of a couple of Mags this month, which exclude certain boats, I am dismayed at the effort to publicise diesel/eco friendly boats. Surely, with the inevitable, the Mags should support this new wave of boats, which eat/drink less fuel - the fuel will go up at some point...

"Agreed... that is a very attractive offer..... just how kind do we have to be? " Buy one of my boats !!!!

uuuhhhh??? dunno The offer states "£2 off tickets to the SBS then a number to call and an offer to quote" I'm assuming its £2 off the advance booking price as the number to call is a booking office of some sort. Different to the SBS advance booking line. If your kind to me I may even be...

Also, if you would like £2 off your tickets PM me and I'll tell you how!!!!

From past experience (as an exhibitor) the last day is the most frustrating and alot of staff get twitchy fingers and start buying Guiness at around 12 and warning their partners that they may need picking up later on in the day. On the other hand, you do seem to find some bargains, but I think...
