Covers wanted for two Plastimo Gemini bulkhead compasses

Very interesting thread,thanks.

Thanks guys I'm getting a rigger to check it out and give me a quote early May. He will be doing another job nearby at that time,

Any tips for freeing up a Manual Vetus Ursus anchor winch? I have done some research online and discovered it was made for Vetus by Lofrans so the mechanics hopefully similar. Would it be prudent to open her up and have a look, I don't want to have an explosion of springs and cogs going off in...

Thanks everyone your opinions are much appreciated.

Thanks Adwuk, Standing rigging nearer 20 yrs old, I would prefer new standing rigging after purchase and have requested a quote from the local riggers. I'm just hopeful the mast is up to it. Of course I expect the riggers to recommend a new stick lol

Thanks Long keeler, the mast in question is on a Rival32. To the untrained eye it looks pretty substantial

Considering purchase of a cruising yacht built early 70s with original mast. Should I be concerned? were masts built over spec like the hulls in those days? Any input appreciated

Great read

Thank you Convey, the thread you mention has answered my questions. Apologies for the double posting. Astro turf seem to be the solution for me

Any advice on introducing an 8 year old dog to sailing appreciated, particularly in relation to toilet issues

Hi, if anyone could share their experience of memory map charting I would be very grateful. I have a hand me down ipad with 40gb memory left and a sat receiver that is compatible on bluetooth. The next step would be a 25 quid outlay for the charts for UK
