I have just accidentally (don't ask) bought one along with some sort of raod nav software that I have no use for. You can have it for the next couple of months to try out if you like. Send me a pm with your contact details.

We are off playing for the next 6 months and can't decide if we should let the house (pretty little fishermans cottage 100 yds from the sea) the or not. I have put it up on the For Sale forum but would love to hear of any one elses experience.

We have a lovely little fishermans cottage 100 yards from the sea in Emsworth and can't decide if the return from from renting it out for six months would justify the risk of damage/theft. I have put it up on the For Sale forum but would love to hear of any one elses experience.

I would feel it more appropriate if it had a rack that held 200 wine bottles plus a cd holder .......

Someone in our office has just bought a GPS module for his Nokia phone at a cost of just £65 which sounds like a clever idea to me. I'm just off to Hong Kong and thought I might buy one but first - Has any one out there heard of, or better still used, a mobile phone GPS set?? Also I am...

I have got lots of Norwegian charts - all W coast - for sale plus passage charts from here. take a look at For Sale forum. If interested email me on laurence@townandcountrycovers.com.

I have all the charts (about 10 - 12 portfolios of 7 - 10 charts each) covering from the S of Norway up to Trondheim plus many (over 30 I think) BA charts of Norway and N Sea. Norway charts were bought new 2003 - the Admiralty charts are various ages. Norwegian Cruising Guide also from 2003...

Hello there John. We changed our Warrior 35 to Pantanius a couple of years ago and they have been great. Additional premium for cover N of Arctic Circle only £30 and this year additional cover to Gib FOC. Difficult to beat that. Laurence

Re: Portsmouth\'s own spinnaker... What a dreary bunch of tired old salts you lot are. Far from being boring or a waste of money I think it's inspired - a spectacular landmark, a great feat of engineering and a reminder that there is more to life than simply spending on the essentials. If...

'Fraid this is strictly collect only. It is about 2ft 6inch wide by a foot and a hlf deep and about the same high. I can carry it easily enough but one would not choose to do so often. Weight is about 30 - 40 lbs. All the above is approximate.

I have a petrol generator that I have inherited as part of a boats inventory. It starts fairly easily and runs quite happily but the engine surges a lot when its under load. There is some sort of automatic throttle that is designed to match engine revs to electrical load and it seems to always...

Problem with the Volvo stern gland (whcih I think is the best thing available) is that it is only available in METRIC. No good for you. I bought and fitted a Deep Sea Seal which partially failed halfway through a long passage and within three months of fitting it. I now have a seal from...

Thanks for that. Sadly it returns a 404 Error File Not Found but now I know its a supermarket I'm sure I'll find one.

I need 8! Who where and what are LIDL?

Re: EXCEL did for me Having attended Earls Court both as a visitor and an Exhibitor for many years I think Excel is by far the better venue. Lots more space. Better (and cheaper) food outlets. Better parking. Good access at least from the S coast. I was very sceptical when the move was made...
