Why will it be closed to traffic by 2015?

Re: What qualifications do I need? Help I\'m confused... If you want to sail a yacht, and assuming you are not a young kid, then I would not bother with a dinghy. It is a bit like learning to drive a go cart before you learn to drive a car. You need to get practical experience on a yacht. Look...

I would try ringing these people, ASAP Supplies. Might not be listed on their site and as you have the identification they will be able to tell you if they can get it. http://www.asap-supplies.com/

You can pick up a mooring at either Felixstowe Ferry, or even better at Ramsholt where you should ask the Harbour Master, George Collins. He will normally be on his boat, Brio, moored near the end of the barge dock.

Yes it is easy to get in provided you pay due attention to tides! Very roughly, for a boat drawing 1.5mt, you need half tide-ish to get over the Deben bar (at Felixstowe Ferry) and Woodbridge is about 10 miles up the Deben. Access over the cill into the marina is more restrictive but there is a...

You can get the tide for Southend (and Walton-on-the-Naze) amongst others on the Port of London site under leisure. Predictions for the year and beyond. Plan your 2012 cruise up the Thames! http://www.pla.co.uk/display_fixedpage.cfm/id/11/site/recreation FOR FREE!!!!!!

We don't normally get people on this site who are just plain rude to folk who have tried to be helpfull. Arcticpilot was trying to be helpfull. You and your kind deserve all the trouble that the internet can throw at you. Did your parents never teach you to say THANK YOU??????

Aren't the connections for handsets universal ie a 6 pin plug. Won't any handset do?

One option might be to fill the locker with water and look to see where it leaks out.

Flushing through will suffice.

Yes it does have a sticky backing. It is 5 years since I used tape from ARCO Rubber and I went into their local depot and saw what I was buying. I thought it was neoprene. Just make sure I have listed the correct product before ordering.

You need to have the photos on a hosting site. I opened a photbucket account (which is free) as that is what a load of other people on this forum do. You upload your photo to photobucket. Then when you post on this forum you put in a link. These are the instructions I followed "Open another...
