I agree with Peter Wright #30 ( makes a change) about crossing by Barrow No2. Get there 1.5-2 hrs before LW then cross the Sunk on a heading of 137 deg..Now punch the tide for a while. I do not use the foulgers Gat Route. I like to use the tower by Fishermas Gat as a guide & spin round that with...

Well, a couple of kids & a mortgage will soon scotch that bit of fun :cry: ;)

He forgot to add. Stand on the hard or a pontoon first :cry:

Yes.

I tried to book berths for our club cruise last year, about 4 weeks in advance. We wanted 2 days the week before, then to go to Middleburg, then back to Ostend for the trip home, taking in 1-2 days of the festival. Simon would not let us have the festival days, as he said it was fully booked. I...

Would that not mean getting pounded at their optimum speed, rather than yours, which could make the trip less comfortable? :unsure: But there again, one might ask how long is one actually going to be mid channel. According to Richard C in post #30 the whole journey is only going to be 3.5 hours...

Another choppy bit is the point is pointe du Corbiere, (spelling? Have I got the name right?) where you go from southerly direction to an easterly course towards St Helier. I have had some fun there. It all depends on winds & tides. Personally I would take the very slightly shorter trip to St...

Even on the calmest of days the Alderney Race can sometimes kick up a 1 metre chop with a very short interval. More so to the east side. It can be quite uncomfortable motoring my 31 ft yacht through it. The point being that a 23 ft boat may find it difficult to go at any speed & find the...

There are 3 main terminals on the underside of the MD1- How do I know which 2 they are please? I have a 2023 engine, imported just as I bought it from Volspec, so latest offering. May I also ask- Am I not just energising the solenoid. So wires do not need to be excessively big.
