I planning on having a week off next week and I'm thinking I might like a trip to the Roach via the Havengore. If there is a tide of 5m at Sheppey what's the most I can expect over the Broomway? We did this trip a few years back in our Red Fox and If I remember correctly it was getting over...

Yup love the gybe, the way the spinnaker comes through and pops before the main and is then instantly driving. And i dont know just how big that kite is but it disappears in just a couple of seconds! And your right re the crew. I love the way they count down the tack 3,2,1.... and no one moves...

Quantum Racing on Facebook Watch Hopefully this link will work but everything about this looks great. The manoeuvres especially are so slick and

Thanks for the heads up guys

Thank you everyone that has contributed to this thread some great suggestions and I plan on visiting as many of them as I can this summer.

Thanks, Stone point is one of those that Id forgotten. We haven't been up the Alde to date but that is on the list for this year. Good comment about sandy beaches, I probably should have mentioned that in my original post. Being able to get ashore easily is a key requirement for me being allowed...

Hi Guys. As we now have davits, and thus easy access to the dinghy for the dog and our daughter we would like to explore more of the great anchorages that the east coast has to offer this summer. But apart from those on the Medway and a couple of others (Osea Island on the Blackwater, The rocks...

Yup say what you like about foiling boats but that was some of the most exciting and entertaining sail boat racing that I've seen

Thanks for all the help guys, thats exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for, I'll report back in due course with the findings

Excellent, thanks for the link Richard. Do you or any one else know what the differences are between the ST50 and ST60 heads, electrically speaking?

Hi all. So they were, but the mast came down over the winter and now that its gone back up they are not, or at least not properly They give a reading for both speed and direction, its just that it appears that the readings given have nothing to do with what's actually happening at the top of...

As an update on this topic. Some good news and bad I checked the temperature over the xmas break and it was and it was reading 40 something degrees so I bridged the terminals for brown and white wires as suggested with a 10k resistor and it changed to 20 something degrees. So to fix this for...

Thanks for all the replies guys, sorry i've been away from the PC so I'm only now catching back up. To answer a few questions. Yes the log is clean and spins freely. Yes I have checked the connections to the head unit and everything is clean and corrosion free. And yes it reads SOG so i can be...
