I have a Warrior 38 with a Brunton auto prop, the prop has failed and with Bexit complications (I am in Portugal) a repair is not on. Can anyone advise me as to what size prop I should buy. The engine is a Volvo D2 40 with a 130S saildrive.

Re Portugal having issues with Dutch flagged boats, I think it was specifically with Portuguese residents that had registered their boats with the Dutch registry to avoid costly regulation with Portuguese registry.

Graham, Thanks for that, looks like I can go about 10 miles above the bridge to Villa Franac de Xira. I wondor if there are pontoons there or space for anchoring. Ladyinbed. Thanks for that info on Seixal, did you go ashore with dinghy and are there beaches for swimming there.

Clearing in on a return from morroco is not a requirement, I also don't clear in. the first time I did the trip i tried, but the authorities are not interested. Why do you assume that we do not comply with other regs or courtesies. Where did you manage to get a check in?

I think it may be "Ocean Venture" she is a Hilliard as far as I know. Hopefully she will be raised and repaired.

Re flashing anchor lights; I believe they can cause confusion in an anchorage as it can be difficult to gauge distance from them. However my main gripe is that they are a pollutant and an eyesore in an anchorage. If we were all to use them, it would be unbearable sitting in the cockpit after...
