bout the same as any other boat jumble.

His name is Peter he is from yorkshire and he has a Powells motor cruiser on the yacht staion called Misty Blue. Paul

As far as I know, there are restrictions on opening Somerleyton swing bridge which will cause delays. Paul

Hello Mike, you may be just the man I am looking for. In answer to your post the trip down from Brundall to Gt Yarmouth is quite straight forward. There is a railway swing bridge at Reedham, you call the operator on 12 and he will tell you when the bridge will open, beware of quite strong...

I am looking to buy a secondhand diesel engine which I can use during RYA engine courses. It must be working but can be knackered as it will not be pulling any load. Ideally at least 4 cylinders, not bothered about a gear box. Thanks Paul

As Cantata has pointed out, the present MRCC's cannot possibly have intimate local knowledge of the areas they cover. Thames area finishes at Southwold where Yarmouth takes over. Their area reaches to Halle Sand fort in the Humber, so, in theory, how can they co-ordinate an incident off...

I need an electric fuel transfer pump. Voltage can be 12,24 110 or 240. Capacity about 80-100 litres per minute. Thanks Paul

PM on its way

quite an awesome video,I think,however, the skipper knew exactly what he was doing and he did it very well, and was probably very conversant with the port, note the avoidance of the semi submerged obstructions on the port side. The reason I say this is because of the fellow on the fore deck...

Thanks very much for your help in this matter, both plotting sheets will come in very handy. skysail your website is very interesting and informative, well done, and thank you

I have seen this request on these forums in the past and I have looked back to see if I can find any reference, a couple I found says the site no longer has the plotting sheets. Does any one know of a site where the plotting sheets can be downloaded. Thanks in anticipation.

thanks for your replies, boat now back in the water, with S/S bolts, but will change them when we come out again next month. Paul

I have a copper earthing plate fixed to the underwater hull of my boat. While out of the water for a bit of a refit, I took the plate off to see the condition of the wood under the copper. I now need to refit the plate and cannot get any bronze screws any where locally, quickly. Can I use 316...

For my sins, I will be in and out of the entrance to the Deben during the evening of the 20th. and guess what? Low water around 1800!!! The boat in use will only draw about 500mm but do I need to Know anything else? Eastcoast Rivers have not issued up to date info so Here I am with begging...
