    Arriving at in France and visiting Police Aux Frontieres

    I would have thought not. It should be the same as for Irish crew on a yacht sailing to France from Ireland (excepting the port of entry requirements for the UK boat). That would also be from outside Schengen. I am also interested in the answer, and whether the spouse of Irish passport holders...

    1981 westerly , uk boat, tax status

    VAT came in during 1973. My father ordered a boat at the boat show just before, which was delivered after the VAT date. There was an argument with Tax authorities as to whether VAT applied. The result was it did not due to the date of order.

    Tides Planner

    Looking at.Absolute Tides (which uses official data) it does seem that the tabular times of HT this morning and max height are earlier and lower than what is shown when you switch to it's graphical view.

    Switch panel lighting

    Putting an offer on a Sealine, how low to go?

    When I have made offers I feel it is important to manage the sellers expectations, but not mess them (or their brokers) around. I have bought two boats, both by a process of an initial viewing with my wife lasting about say one hour, where we decided we liked the boat, then a discussion with...

    Found - Standard Horizon HX 851 at Swanwick Shore

    It's three days and three posts to be able to pm. JR you seem to make a habit of this. Some years ago we found a Jorvic Rose cap on Swanwick Shore. Now washed and kept on board. It's showing signs of age but you can have it back also for an appropriate ransom to RNLI!

    Instruments turn off when starting engine having added extra battery,

    NASA electromagnetic log questions

    I would really need to use the original cable from the interface box (mounted below) to the ST60 at the helm. Its a difficult cable run involving moussing through a conduit otherwise. I think it would not be a problem using the original wire as the Nasa unit is simulating the signals to the ST60...
