    Whose responsibility is a boat sunk at its mooring?

    Sounds like that at some point you will be using bolt croppers / a chainsaw - to disentangle yourself. If that is the case I would go for pre-emptive action, especially as you appear to have low water access.......might take a few trips. If well stuck in the mud could try using a lift bag, with...

    Same old questions, time for a change?

    Coincidentaly just helped wire a GPS into a brand spanking new GS1200 - not mine unfortunately :( Whilst all very worthy suggestions - I suspect that you are comparing enthusiast / hobby run sites to commercial. Hobby sites have Mods who work for f#ck all :cool: Dan (& crew?) probably won't...

    Top 3 pleasures of moorings

    That's not a Troll :rolleyes: That's simply someone with a sense of humour - making a joke :eek: :eek::eek: Of course in a forum populated by more that it's fair share of humourless literalists I am sure the "report" button on Dan's PC is now flashing like a pervert in a school yard :rolleyes:

    Boat design consultancy

    I think you are trying for something that will look good with cover and without - to be honest I think you have to settle for one or the other.
