That's excellent - thanks. I see your quote in section 8 'obligations of private importers'. Helpfully, the footnotes to that document include this: '2: Until 11pm 31 December 2024, products conforming to EU rules, including the CE marking, may be placed on the market of Great Britain.' So...

Yes but as above, can you point me toward a source for this?

Can you point me toward something to support your assertion here about the need to comply with the current RCD, rather than the contemporaneous RCD please?

Because over 11 boats would be excessive... [/very old forum in-joke]

If you were med based, don't you have aircon? If that has dehum mode, that's what I'd use. I used to just leave mine in dehum mode all winter, worked perfectly. Regarding fuel and water, I'd keep the fuel as full as possible, and the water as empty as possible (and depressurised with taps...

I used a Tohatsu 9.8 two stroke with my D270. Absolutely flew - you could get it to plane with two fat blokes on board. You have to remove the engine cowling to close the garage door but in practice this isn't much of an inconvenience.

Same as everyone else for Sud Diesel - quick, competent, expensive (this was for VP engines and drives)

Evening all. I've just logged in for the first time in c.100 years, and see that I have been tagged here. I still exist! :D Hope all are well.

Have you actually been on a Phantom 48 yet? I like the styling of them - but the so-called master cabin is very compromised, the double bed is only about 4ft wide, it is basically a big single. Fun, briefly, but just not practical for longer stays.

PS to your original question about broker response, why don't you just call them? Always more immediate than emailling, and as a gross generalisation, prospects who all are usually more serious (and taken more seriously) than prospects who email

Targa 40 is too small for 2 adults and 4 kids. I'd say the T43 was as well, Overall the running costs with the T43 will be lower than the T40 unless you are doing zillions of hours a year in which case the fuel savings with the T40 will begin to show - but for typical 50-100 hour pa use the...

Hi S Well done on all of this. As a point of interest, were your radio calls on 16 in English or French? When I was in SoF I always had a concern in the back of my mind that my French wouldn't be good enough for rt comms in an emergency.
