    Coming alongside pontoons with a cross-wind - advice needed please!

    Obviously without a decent understanding of the space and conditions, one option possibly could be to make a sternboard from all the way outside the main row, past the berth and up towards the end. Then, motor forwards and turn to port into the new berth, with a fender placed well forward on...

    Small boat heavy weather

    As many have said, the point is not about wind speed but sea state. Beaufort 7 does not equate to a Sea State 7.

    Boats with 12v and 24v systems on board.

    Hello, I have a mixed 12/24v system on my 1977 Moody. She came out of the factory as such and all seems fine, but I do have a lot of batteries but mainly because a previous owner was very risk averse. Buy kit is fine (and the truck stuff is good). My 12v are only charged by shore or solar but...

    Yachts with a large bridge deck between cockpit and companionway

    I have a Moody 42 as per the OPs advert. The bridgedeck was a concern to me but, after 3 seasons use, and some fairly bumpy weather, it hasn't been a massive problem. The boat is a big beast, very stable, and so it doesn't feel like such a leap of faith to cross the bridgedeck. There is also...
