How can you prevaricate! Absolutely nothing to do with Snooks at all! Just normal Scots weather...like last year..51 day's consecutive Rain, 47 day's Strong wind warnings, sounds to me like an average season!

May I suggest that you very carefully check all bulkhead/furniture mouldings on the opposite side to the impact area, with heavier built craft it is not unknown for heavy impact damage to be transmitted across the width of the hull.I would also support the idea of utilising the services of an...

Yes! and would look forward to it!

Currently up to 700 hrs on my FSD and 1950hrs on my oppo,s, both start on first turn of key and only smoke if left idling for a couple of hours ( easiest way to bang some amps in) would suggest a phone call to either Mike or Mark @ Lancing...have alway,s found them to be exceeding helpful.

Crappy boats. Over the years have looked at a lot of peoples pride & joy,s at times when looking to uprate. Have always been utterly gobsmacked at the condition & cleanliness of most of the offerings that we went to see. All one can assume is that some yachties are happy living like pigs in...

May I suggest that rather than implying all posters who do not conform to your point of view, are prevaricating. Get in your boatie and go ...without the relevant documentataion & with out of date flares and suffer the consequences. Suggest Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne would be good starting...

Have to say made very welcome by Aberdeen Harbour on trip up the East coast last year...cheapest stop on the East coast..£20 for 5 days...despite tales of woe & warnings from all & sundry about access.

Disagree! Unusual design, easily recognised, well made, and good value for money! should have the same status as the C.A/R.Y.A. burgees, cos, a lot more info on here than with them.

Have to say that I totally disagree with the comments re: interests. both of my two sailed sailed from carrycot stage to adulthood and now INSIST that at least a couple of weeks each year are put to one side to bring their children sailing. However, disadvantage numero uno, you have to...

West coast weather. Having had the pleasure of trogging up the E.coast to the land of milk & honey last year, it was noticeable that as one went onto the W. coast, met forecasts seemed to be significantly less acurate!. According to the log, we had 50 day's of wet stuff and 43 day's of strong...

Tipping off. Worth while having a play with Jenny Brushes to tip off. With the two pot paints, they tend not to leave "brush marks" and are as cheap as chips!

Thank you Sir.

Might one enquire of the learned and knowing, What lubricant is used in a Parsons mechanical Box?...'cos I havn't seen one for years and cannot remember whether its ATF or engine oil........whatever there was is no longer! Many thanks

Arma Marine.... Were in the old Seaplane sheds @ Brightlingsea circa 60's-70's....But long gone! Super Boats tho!

Interesting comments from all, purely as matter of info, when selecting lump for present boatie, wanted 40-60 horses, a new merc would have been ideal but they pulled out long ago. Quotes: Volvo.....£17k Yanmar 16k Beta 11k Lombardini 13k...
