Neeves's latest activity

It depends on the price of the yacht but the slightly extreme keel, for cruising, would not be my concern. But this sort of keel is...

One might assume, incorrectly as it turns out, that travel hoist operators are trained in the use of the equipment and as these hoists...

Down our neck of the woods where racing fin keeled boats in shallow strong tidal waters is a popular pastimes we have seen plenty of...

Buy your self a small sheet of 10mm marine ply, say 1m square, and it will 'cover' all the backing plates you might need (check your...

I use ply 12mm or thereabouts coated with GRP. Don't forget to chamfer the edges at 45 degrees which allows any 'deflection'. I bed...

Rocna's recommendation for a yacht of your size is 33kg, your anchor weighs 50kg. You have obviously never tried a 33kg anchor on your...
