Just wanted to say farewell to the east coasters as my Mk2 Crabber is up for sale and I am giving up this most wonderful of hobbies. Eyesight and other issues are simply getting in the way, not least of which is being a grandad! Thank you for the many years of advice and support guys and fair...

I used to be a regular visitor here. Reading the contentious posts hear have reminded me why I stopped. If someone can not appreciate the noise and environmental impact of PWC and planing mobos is far greater than a sail powered craft than nothing anyone can say here is going to open their...

Used them to get my 24’ Crabber from Suffolk to Maldon. Very professional and reliable

Yep, glutton for punishment mate. Must like banging my head����

Well, we never quite made it to the Buxey. Tack on tack all the way down river, got to Swires Hole about 1/2 hour after LW so gave up and headed back upriver. But, on what tuned out to be a dead run then a reach we set every sail we had, jib, tow foresail, topsail and main. At times we were...

Good point. Will run it out and bury it ��. Thank you

Middle son and I have been granted leave by respective spouses and are planning on sailing tomorrow. The plan is, leave Maldon at height of the flood tomorrow (Sunday) morning, gentle sail down river with the ebb and visit the Buxey sands for a stroll. No dinghy so planning to run boat ashore...

Green Man, Bradwell, the only pub I have ever come across that would not allow my guide dog in, whilst we had a meal. Offered us a space in the bar but not in the Resturant “because of the carpets”. Illegal but I couldn’t be arsed to follow it up, but have never forgotten it. Told the...

On previous boat I had fixed cp (standard horizon) with Navionics in an iPad as a back up. That was in a wheelhouse motorsailer so sunlight and water ingress never an issue. Found I relied on the iPad over the fitted chart plotter. I now have a little gaffer and have decided not to invest...

Sort of related. My Webasto stopped working a couple of years ago. Started, ran for a bit, then shutdown. Fiddled and poked it to no avail. Finally decided to remove the heater to have it serviced. I discovered the air intake, in the cockpit, was full of dog hair. Removed the hair and all...

Still confused but thank you. As far as I can tell, all connections are correct. Puzzled! I have emailed the company I purchased it from, we shall see.

Thank you. I searched Google but never found that link. Now, what on earths is the W Bus???

Just finished installing a new Airtop 2000STC and went to fire it up, but nothing happens apart from red light flashing and error code T12 Any ideas chaps

Gary looked after my swinging mooring. Very good at his job and not overpriced.

Was it running then stopped? Failed to restart? Or has it been getting progressively harder to start over time?
