Hi Roger I'm pleased to hear the news that the new book is in the process of being published and hopefully very soon. Having been privileged to have viewed the new tables for various boat speeds I can say they are brilliant and so easy to use. I think everyone that already has one of your books...

I'm not quite sure who this Attwood guy is but if he is the same person as we met on the 9th June then yes he is a very miserable and rude individual. We picked up quite a large mooring buoy, 2 inch diameter rope for a couple of hours over lunch time and hadn't been there 10 mins when a man in...

Thank you Johnah and John White for the brilliant information on the bar height/ depth of water. As a half a dozen times a year visitor to the Deban I can now work out times to enter or leave using your valuable data. Taking into account the draft of my motor boat and depth of the swell I can...

Many thanks for the suggestions. Have just contacted Harbour master at Waldringfield he confirms it belongs there and will collect it later today.

Just salvaged a Dingy/Tender floating loose on the River Deban. It has the name "IN CAHOOTS" on tbe transom. It also appears to have a licence disc number 143. I am anchored at the Rocks for next 24 hours, Grand Banks 42, if owner is not found by then I will tow it back to Shotley Marina.

to website@hha.co.uk email sent to Harwich Haven Authority. Dear Sir / Madam Will HHA be lifting restrictions on Rivers Orwell and Stour in accordance with the guidance issued on Gov.uk Website. Other English river authorities seem to have already opened up for leisure crafts yesterday or...

Shotley Marina is wide open to anyone. The general public can and do just wander through at any time. Perhaps the marina should look at key code access gates to the pontoons to provide the sort of security that other marinas such as Ipswich haven have.

Sorted at last, what a relief. I met with the engineer on Saturday morning and we took the boat out on test again with the same result. When getting up onto the plane it heeled over to the starboard side. He checked all the settings again from inside the engine bay steering arms, leg angle...

Thanks all once again for the replys. I have just arranged to meet the engineer this weekend so we can test the boat on the plane together. I must say he also seems a little mistified as to why this is occuring. Even though I have used him exclusively over the the past few years I dont believe...

Many thanks for the replys so far. The one bit of information that I forgot to add into the original story is that I was with the engineer when he set up the drive trim settings. Both drives had new racks fitted to the steering helmets so I know that they were set at -4 when fully retracted...

I am new to this forum so I'm hoping somebody can help me with a problem I have with my 36ft Sealine flybridge. About 5 weeks ago my boat ran level and even at 3200rpm when on the plane. It then came out of the water to have new steering bushes fitted in both drives whilst the work was being...
