There's a guy over on Ribnet forums, Ben, who posts as "trailer guy" who runs a company called Compass Trailers, who is really well thought of. He does mobile trailer servicing and covers your area. See his website at: http://www.compasstrailers.com/page8.htm which includes contact details...

I worry when people put too much faith in tide predictions, expecting accuracy down the odd cm. Have a look at the National Oceanography Centre's (NOC's) real time tide gauge page, which shows predictions versus actual tides for a range of sites around the country...

I don't know anyone involved with this thread - but really, why the need for such gratuitous rudeness?? I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that you're the vendor who's received a low offer? If you're really that upset by the fact that someone has made an offer much lower than you want, maybe you...

I know there are fairly regular posts asking if anyone has a Garmin G chart for sale.... so just to add another one - has anyone got a Garmin G-chart for the Solent for sale? (full size G chart, not the micro). Thanks, Gerry

Might be worth asking the same question on Ribnet - http://www.rib.net/forum/ People there are pretty friendly and willing to give advice. However, they're likely to point you towards the more "serious" RIB brands like Ribcraft, Humber, Osprey, etc., rather than what they might view as...
