    Oops….I never did thank everyone for their input on my Sprayhood query, which were very helpful. after speaking to a few suppliers, I had greater confidence in selecting Dolphin for the work and we were very happy with the result which features in my icon image on the left. It is still looking...

    Coastal Mobile Coverage

    Hi All, Here‘s a question I can’t easily find the answer to: which mobile network has the best offshore (coastal) coverage? I sail around the East Coast (Suffolk/Essex/Kent) and in Summer in the English Channel as far as Cornwall. I was with Three and when I switched to Vodafone (Lebara) I...
