I concur with some of your thoughts - However, I have found ebay is a good place to sell things with a structured procedure, easy payment methods and little aggravation. I've also tried selling directly on YBW before with very poor results and a lot of wasted time! (time I cannot spare at...

your decimal points are in the wrong place but I know what you mean! I think my chain is 8mm not 7.9mm(5/16"). I reckon my gypsy is more likely to be 3/8" so I need to find some bigger chain to see if it is a closer fit. (I cannot find a mark stating the size on the gipsy). Thanks for your...

Many thanks - will try both suggestions <hr width=100% size=1>I've got wind...................... ...............................in my sails!

I have an old (but in good working order) manual horizontal windlass. I think it was made by Simpson Lawrence due to the only marking on it: "S-L Hyspeed". It has a drum and gipsy, which feeds the chain down the pipe. However, the chain slips when pulling in under even moderate load - I think...

Malcontents? Thanks, but I can be malcontent about high fuel prices without being prone to take 'sickies'. I always pay my way in life and never ask for handouts - but I still think fuel is too expensive. As regards getting a second job, I'd rather not - actually I've just handed in my...

Re: Campaign to Reduce UK Petrol Prices: A Rip-off at Hey, I'm not after your salary or pension! I was just passing on an idea for discussion. However, as it happens I would prefer to see a less crippling fuel price (not so I could go out and buy/waste more) - just that I would be taxed less...

Campaign to Reduce UK Petrol Prices: A Rip-off at Sorry, not entirely boaty, unless you have a long trip to the boat! This e-mail is going around interesting concept and is worth a try I suppose! We are going to hit close to 89p a litre by the summer. Want petrol prices to come down? We...

Were there any offensive odours as you went past? If the tank/bowl does decide to overflow in our absence, I've been agonising about the extent and course of the slurry-flow along stringers, etc. Hopefully with all valves shut we will be OK! If you see us sleeping on deck or in the dinghy...

Maybe it needs new seals on the heads pump - the tank was definitely emptied before and there isn't a blockage because we could see (and smell!) the results of pumping it out slightly to relieve the pressure. <hr width=100% size=1>I've got wind...

Last time at the boat I noticed our 4 year old Jabsco heads pump would hiss and whistle after it was flushed. I thought maybe we just needed a service kit to renew the seals. Later, while talking to someone on the pontoon my wife appeared at the companionway and shouted that the heads bowl was...
