This might be worth a watch as two YM critique each others sailings skills and yachts visiting waterside pubs around the Solent: https://www.youtube.com/@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches

Won't trust them again. It's not just the initial decision, but the pack of lies and mis information that followed for years. All too late we are cooking on electric.

Ian, worth doing a forum search for a Trader called Tarquin. The Tarquin Trader Saga - Update Pour yourself a large glass of Scotch before you start.

Someone should tell Crewsaver. The buckles of the bag are just coated mild steel and rusted before we even finished our two week summer hols. The straps had fraid and snapped from sunshine within a year and the bag tore after 18 months. I e mailed them twice and they didn't even have the...

I asked a similar question to the staff in You Boat Gosport back in January because I couldn't find a date on the gas cylinders. The answer was there isn't a date but to check it hasn't been fired and the cylinder is in good condition.

Sailing HJEM did this trip last Summer and Autumn and made a series of videos about their trip. Quite a good watch (y) https://www.youtube.com/@sailinghjem/videos

Think you need a couple of silicone mats of Amazon which will do a pretty good job of stopping the pan sliding on the induction hob. We have a couple but also chose to gimbal the Vango double so its usable at sea and we do cook whilst sailing. Try this for a solar dump. It was one of the...

We run a double Vango off a 2kW Sterling inverter without any problems and find the 800w of cooking power fine, apart from searing steaks were you want lots of heat for a short time and then reduce the pan temperature to cook. It can be done on a Vango just with a good quality pan and getting...

If you are used to the Panda at home then it makes sense to using the same model on board to keep things simple. Its quite big, therefore we might look at the Lakeland 2 servings model instead with a power draw of 250w, all for £35. Rice Cookers | Electric, 1L & 2L Cookers

Don't think 14 yr olds have a kitchen drawer and might be difficult to explain taking it home and declaring it.

Actually, I would suggest nothing much has changed today given the picture posted by Onesea (post 17) :rolleyes:

If you have time and divert a little there is a Whiskey class submarine sat up right with a 10 deg list to starboard marked a couple of miles to the West of Bornholm island. Depth 36m. I tried to open the hatch in the deck infront of the conning tower and lifted the huge D shaped handle but...

Out of curiosity I need to ask were you in NI during the 980/90s?

I am struggling to remember a time when I needed a knife quickly whilst sailing, that couldn't be met with something sharp from the galley. Different underwater, there were just a couple of occasions in 4000 dives that needed a knife. Fishing line being the normal use. Once a large blade...
