    Mast climbing harness - recommendations please.

    I have a normal climbing harness and some ascenders. But I hate heights and climbing the mast so my advice is pay someone else to do it ?

    Should regulations be introduced for masts and rigging in the leisure market?

    Think mine is still on the original mast at 52 years old with a Med and two Atlantics done in her years. Typical survey results mean no fully comp until the standing rigging replaced even though it’s only 11 years old. Limit is 10.

    Marine VHF procedure - why ?

    I operate out of a hugely commercial area and I’m afraid it does make you wonder what the point of the VHF ticket is, nobody really uses it. It’s more normal language, but so far I haven’t anyone crashing into each other, so all is well. Certainly last time I was on the scene the pilots were...

    Taylor’s Heater Installation

    I was using a 5m syringe and got a little squeezy bottle just recently but I do struggle a little bit with it. Takes me about 3 time to get it lit and away. It’s more getting the meths to stay lit long enough to put the cap back on the front.

    Taylor’s Heater Installation

    Got it installed today and left the stove on for a good 3 hours. What a massive change! I never even heard the pump in all that time. Thanks for the guidance on that plum, it’s going to make it a nice play to get a warm through.

    Diesel boat heating choices

    Yes mine does that, I’m thinking one of those stove fans driven by some black wizardry that sticks on top or some small 12v fans possibly like those from a computer to move air about.

    Victron Venus OS Raspberry pi

    You probably can’t install to your work laptop so try this one PuTTY Portable (telnet and SSH client) | PortableApps.com Even then it might be protected by whitelisting. Got a tablet or smart phone?

    Taylor’s Heater Installation

    Done a far bit of reading up now. Ordered a new 214 with solid state and the bits to convert my piping to connect to it. Hopefully that will be an end to the racket.
