Not sure if its been answered before with regards with VAT. But what are peoples thoughts on this? If I am sailing a 50 year old boat thats VAT exempt and currently in the EU.. Am i still liable for VAT exemption after the 31st? Do i have to all of a sudden pay the VAT now? I never had to...

Does anyone know the product Lagoon uses to adhere shelves to the inside of the Hull. I'm looking to install a watermaker and building a shelf to sit it on. Lagoon have used this grey epoxy stuff but it looks like its come out of a tube?

Anyone needing a delivery done from Ireland/Sth UK to Gibraltar? Might know someone looking to get there. Will be a nonstop trip due to nowhere enroute to pull into. But if someone wants their boat delivered that way. I'm asking for a friend.

The grumpy old liveaboards are spending alot of money there nightly.. And the bar doesnt provide internet to the customers.. Its only for the staff who stand in the kitchen smoking and watching youtube..

La Linea is a car park with a boat park attached to it.. The place in my opinion is not so much a marina. The staff try to be helpful but are not. There was an incident a couple of months back where a guy was in the office paying his mooring fees with his daughter who could speak and...
