Hi. Sorry, missed this. Yes, leave from the Solent to Le Havre and then up the Seine. We did it in the early 90s but have forgotten most of the details now! The Olympics are putting us off a bit as Paris would be busy normally even without them. Cheers

Gibeltarik.. Merci beaucoup!

Hi. I’m hoping to go to Paris in our Nelson 40 in early July. The Marina Arsenal (with which I am familiar) requires a holding tank. What is the next nearest marina to Paris where a holding tank is not ‘obligatoire’? Many thanks Jonathan

Yes please, I’ll take the lot cheers Jonathan

Many thanks Petem, will measure the orifice tomorrow and see if they are the same

Thanks for the suggestion and I think it would work but I prefer course up

Hi Learned Folks On my present boat I have a Raymarine C120W plotter/radar standalone. I then have an autopilot, Raymarine 400G, ST60+, fluxgate etc also standalone. Both work well. When the boat is stationary the map display on the plotter dances around rotationally with the map rotating about...

Solved! I have no safety rails! Old working boat. Will go with plan A. Many thanks all.

That’s great, many thanks

I don’t know the state of the anodes on the bottom having had issues over the last two years with them. I can’t keep lifting the boat to check at £300 a pop. It’s simply for peace of mind when I leave the boat for a few weeks at a time. I don’t want anything permanent or ‘fitted’. I’ve applied...
