Good advice but unfortunately the harbourmaster does not have the facilities to go through up the Menai Straits and tow the vessel back and impound it. Unlike your squatter, this owner has not even stayed on the boat, just taken over the mooring and pissed off. If for arguments sake… somebody...

Sorry it was sold 3 days ago on FB marketplace at asking price.

If somebody has long term squatted on your private mooring, what would you do ? I will keep these details fairly generic … I’ve left my personal professional maintained mooring and gone into my local marina for the evening on passage for the Bank Holiday. The harbourmaster say’s have you...

Thanks 🙏🏻 👍

For sale are two DiBlasi bikes; the price is for both of them -£75 The White coloured bike is the better bike where the brakes and gears and gears all work fine. The chrome coloured bike has a seized front brake (it’s a drum type brake) so the front wheel does not rotate. These Italian...

Sanders Cruising Chute with original bag and non Saunders oranges snuffer for sale £350. This was originally sized for a Westerly Fulmar, which has a Genoa Luff length of 11.68m . I used the sail on my. 32ft SHE 32C where it fitted very well. Available to view/collect in Manchester; happy to...

Hi, I kept my boat in Torshavn for over a week when my partner flew out and we rented an amazing AirBnB (PM if you want the details; it had its own Jacuzzi looking out across to the sea and a private sauna - a bit of luxury after all the sailing) and hired a car to get around all the islands and...

Hi, I started this thread…. and yes I did make it. I sailed singlehanded from Stornoway last August, had amazing weather while I was there. Here is short YouTube video of my passage and some of the harbours I visited. Harbours and marinas were free/cheap, the scenery amazing. Food and...

That’s what I’ve always used too, you can find online at EBay fairly cheaply with delivery.

And the price is ?

Their Renogy panels like these 100 Watt 12 Volt Flexible Monocrystalline Solar Panel I’m trying to get all the bits I need before I go down to the boat next week as I’m then immediately off cruising for 4 weeks, bringing the boat back from Poole to Anglesey. Knowing my luck, I won’t get much...

I’ve received the two 100W flexible solar panels I’m planning to install on my Westerly Storm, one of which I’m considering putting on top of the sprayhood. The edges of the panel are very sharp so I’m worried with time they will rub through the sprayhood; has anybody come up with a clever...

Looking for SC5600 THE SOLENT AND APPROACHES and Western channel approaches charts For upcoming trip in two weeks from Poole to Anglesey. I have all the charts from Lands End north. Does not have to be the latest edition as it’s purely a backup. PM me with any details. Cheers, Andrew

Hi, Sent you a PM. I’m also considering a Windpilot for a Westerly Storm.

in the end I’ve decided to buy a good secondhand book; which suits my learning style. For anybody else interested, I found a very good online learning course which appears to cover everything the RYA cover at a fraction of the price if you’re happy with an online learning style.
