Best Restaurant in Gosport is the New Bengal in Stoke Road assuming you like Indian Food. It's a 5-10 minute walk from Haslar, which would be my choice having been a berth holder both there and at Premier. Royal Clarence is nice and peaceful, but a bit far from the ferry. I would not touch Gun...

When I had my gas safety check, the engineer told me it was now illegal to have a seacock on the gas locker drain. He got round this by opening the seacock on my drain and then removing the handle.

The're probably all made in the same factory in China anyway!

Could it be a Pageant? They were 23 feet and had the knuckle on the hull, but the cabin top had no step like a a tiger.

The problem is you don't know what you've got until the leg is split. I had mine split after 8 years last summer to reveal a badly corroded leg, which was also just eight years old. It was never satisfactorily explained, but necessitated a new leg. From the outside, it appeared fine.

Now Sold

I had a trial sail in both these boats when they were new more years ago than I care to remember! As has been said, the Westerly has a much better sailing performance and I ordered one. Westerly then stopped making the Cirrus and gave me a Tiger for the same money, which is a fine boat.

Mariner 3.3 Two Stroke outboard. Just serviced, little used and in excellent condition. Can be seen Farnham Surrey or possibly Gosport. £350, buyer collects.

The nice chap who bought my boat contacted me today to say that he has suffered a sudden loss of range on the AIS, which is now down to about 4 miles, and could I help, but sadly I am at a loss. The unit is a Digital Yacht AIT2000 paired to a Garmin 5012 plotter, any suggestions would be welcome.

XW are usually reliable, Martin Leaning up at Port Solent is also excellent.

There's a small chart and suggested tracks in Reeds.

They do not all have replaceable batteries. I was advised to fit ones with replaceable batteries as apparently the non-replaceable do not do well in a marine environment.

Thanks guys.

Hi Paul Many thanks, that's a great help. Would I be right in thinking that a 5012 is a 5x0 in the table? Rick

Anybody know which Garmin G3 charts are compatible with a GPS 5012? I know the EUR 001 basic is, but not which others.
