The boat I bought was ex charter but ownership had reverted to the private owner at the end of last year. Pricing was down to the owner rather than Sunsail. Cosmetically the boat was "as new" internally and outside the wear and tear was mainly down to long hot summers and wet winters...

As some of you will know I've been less than complimentary about yacht brokers in the past, all based on actual personal experience. I think it only fair then, to recount a very satisfactory, recent experience. I bought a boat through the Sunsail Brokerage based in Agana marina about 30 Km...

I need a few electronic items e.g. seatalkng to 0183 converter. Where in Lefkas or Corfu would be a possibility and I'll call them tomorrow?

As the title says I'm looking for someone who would accept a delivery from SVB in Germany which I would collect this week probably Friday.

Thanks. I think that relates to the fuel station in the marina where I am but it's closed - a new company taking over but it won't open for another 20 days. I checked with the agent here and there's no tanker delivery facility.

I'm currently in Bar, Montenegro heading south towards Corfu. The advertised fuel station in the marina is closed and there's no tanker service. I have more than enough fuel to get to Durres where I planned to check-in to Albania but they've no fuel station there and getting tanker delivery...

My son, who must have got his technical skills from his mother, arrived last night. This morning, following this youtube video, he transferred routes from Navionics mobile to the expired chart cards on the Axiom 9. The chart card subscription on the plotter is expired more than 5 years so...

Good money then especially if you didn't have to pay for accommodation and limited opportunities for going on the piss.

£5,000 was half the price of a family home in Dublin City in 1977. You must have been a wealthy young man.

I ordered 2 x engine service kits from this company. I emailed to tell them which days I would be at the boat in Croatia and they duly arranged delivery from France accordingly.

I've finally got to my new to me boat. I've updated the software on both Axoom MFD's. The plotter has a Med &Black Sea Navionics card installed but the subscription has expired. I have the relevant charts on my mobile Navionics app with current subscriptions. I've created routes on the app...

After I received my registration I sent s link to this thread to the UKSR and I received the following reply. "Thank you for positive feedback and it is great to see so many replies to your post with a similar experience. I have passed this onto the overall manager of the Ship Registry and for...

We don't have a rule, as such, but I'm a great believer in the do unto others philosophy and if berth holders in the other marinas don't tell when they're going to be away I'll find it much more difficult to get free nights.

What Paddy wouldn't prefer green but it is, as you speculate, on a white background. I imagine I'm going to meet some customs or coast guard officials along the way who'll want to see the "original" so I'm making sure to keep the email safe.
