I hope the fecking cretin at the helm of the mobo is taken out and neck shot nkvd style, dickhead.

Fit an underrated cable if you wish. Be aware that your insurance will be completely invalid should an incident occur.

Seaward, Aquastar, Nelson, all ex yachtie type traditional boats which handle well in a bigger sea.

Well, sort of. Until you want to stop, or park, or navigate a busy area (no road lanes and even less boaters know the 'rules of the road' than drivers) ....... As others have said, get some training, PB level 2 practical, dayskipper theory. And don't forget to factor in all the safety gear to...

Bu&&er flies over my house every morning, noisy s0d! And Jim Melon who owns the ‘mosque’ but lives in the Balearics. Someone could afford to build a marina in Port Erin for me! Perfect deep water harbour, especially with these north easterlies this year.

Wrong end of the island for me, and most who transit via Calf Sound.
