I bought this on here a number of years ago at the Forum limit as it was a bargain. It will still be a bargain for someone at the Forum limit as I have done nothing with it, other than store it in my garage… Seeing as my yacht is now abroad on a pontoon in an area where there is no Med mooring...

Yes. Have you got your new one yet?

With some other Forum members on here, I helped deliver a boat to Eastbourne. The owner was on board. On the last leg, he told me ’you are only here to get the hours in’ (in a very Russian accent). I pointed out to him that I (and the others) all had our own boats and were only there to help...

We lived on board for 5 years. We now stay on board for about 6 months a year on a 45’ monohull modern plastic boat. We love it. As you say, it’s what you need and what you want. We only sail when the conditions suit us. We are very fortunate in that we can afford to pay in marinas when we need...

I’ve got one too - I think that I might get it out to play with…

SOLD

Battery conditioner for all 12v lead acid batteries. i had this on my boat for about five years. When I replaced the LA batteries with AGMs (they were a bargain…), I had to take this off as it is not suitable for AGMs. LA batteries were (and still are) holding their charge well with no obvious...

As above. More from my cockpit locker clear out of things that I bought but never used!!! Never fitted, never used. It looks pretty similar to one that Force4 are selling for £100 but this is slightly longer (about 400mm)...
