Had one with a single engine, not twin.

I have enjoyed watching the skill development of Stephen over the time of the video's. From seamanship to problem solving time spent 'doing' has meant 'Paynie' has now become pretty accomplished. The trip from northern France to the Mediterranean is a trip many have mused so interesting to...

Had the mail too. I hope things don't change as I found them to be very customer focused, I moved to them after Y were taken over and things changed for the worse and this has the same feel - I hope I am wrong. Echo MartynG thoughts that one fewer brokers to add to competition is not good news.

I have no experience of MF895. Friends of ours started with their Antares 9 on the Norfolk Broads for a couple of years - single engine and was very happy pootling around; the skeg/keel set up meant it tracked and behaved very well. They then moved it to the East Coast Cruising extensively...

Weather looks half decent for the next few days. Hope the trip back continues to plan

Bought our first boat from Karl when he was at Boatshowrooms very decent knowlegable chap. Good to hear he hasn't changed in his own business.
